Tgif FAQ - Introduction to Tgif

Tgif's man pages are very hard to understand. Is there something more introductory for a tgif beginner?
Daan Reuhman wrote a LaTeX document called tgifintro. It's available at ftp://bourbon.cs.umd.edu/pub/tgif/contrib/tgifintro/tgifintro.tar.gz (15,876 bytes). Here's what to do with the file after you download it.

gunzip -c tgifintro.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd tgifintro
make
make
make ps

Running 'make' above runs 'latex'. Running 'make ps' above runs 'dvips'.

A gzipped PostScript (37,821 bytes) and a gzipped PDF (212,827 bytes) versions are also available.
