Any or all of the LaTeX version of the CGNS documentation may be downloaded and installed on a local system. To do so, download the desired document(s) from the following list by clicking on the link while holding down the shift key, assuming your browser supports this capability. A dialogue box will appear for you to specify the directory and file name to be used on your local system. The following documents are available.

    File Name   Document  
charter_tex.tar.gz   Steering Committee Charter
overview_tex.tar.gz   Overview and Entry-Level Document
user_tex.tar.gz   User's Guide to CGNS
midlevel_tex.tar.gz   Mid-Level Library
sids_tex.tar.gz   Standard Interface Data Structures (SIDS)
filemap_tex.tar.gz   SIDS-to-ADF File Mapping Manual
filemap_hdf_tex.tar.gz   SIDS-to-HDF File Mapping Manual
filemap_python_tex.tar.gz   SIDS-to-Python File Mapping Manual
adf_tex.tar.gz   ADF User's Guide

Using the SIDS-to-ADF File Mapping Manual as an example, unpack the downloaded file(s) by doing:

   gunzip -c filemap_tex.tar.gz | tar xvf -
The files will be extracted and stored in a directory named filemap. Files for the other documents are unpacked similarly, and stored in directories corresponding to the document name.

With a reasonably recent LaTeX distribution installed, you can create both PostScript and PDF versions of the documentation from the LaTeX source. Again using the SIDS-to-ADF File Mapping Manual as an example, to generate a .dvi file, then a PostScript file named filemap.ps, in the directory filemap do:

    latex filemap.tex  (Repeat 2-3 times to resolve cross-references, etc.)
    dvips filemap.dvi -o
To generate a PDF file named filemap.pdf:
    pdflatex filemap.tex  (Repeat 2-3 times to resolve cross-references, etc.)
