They are on the CVS site (currently without anonymous access). However, they are in the middle of a transition that has not yet completed. Originally they were in a local format which served me very well for 10 years. But with my future retirement getting ever closer, it was time to change to something a bit more open. The most recent documentation was generated from DocBook XML, with the XML itself being generated by AsciiDoc from a text source. However, I was not happy with some aspects of AsciiDoc (wrong tool for this job) and so I am in the process of converting yet again to a somewhat simpler markup scheme called xfpt (XML From Plain Text). I recently released the (quite small) program that implements this translation. The document conversion itself I hope to complete in the next two or three weeks, at which point the CVS sources will become the xfpt ones. I may well re-issue the 4.60 documentation at that stage. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
