This is not in the file supplied by the source tarball.

I don't care for using a BUI (Browser User Interface) unless I'm looking
for something on the Web. I much prefer pdf or ps files I can view on-screen
or print. I find it much more convenient to take printed docs to the sofa in
the den, or into bed, and read there. I spend enough hours each day sitting
in front of the monitor.
