[ale] HOW2 use -> documentation of ~.tex files ?

[James P. Kinney III]

Those are raw latex files. You will need a latex setup to compile them.
They will produce fantastic postscript or PDF files.

You can also open them using some WYSYWIG tools like Lyx, Kylix and some
others. It will let you look at the content without having to wade much
through the layout code.

Unless you _liked_ the f4 key (show commands) from the old dos
wordperfect (great tool!).
