Location of PSIM documentation sources?

Hello -

We're planning to use PSIM here soon, and it would be
desirable to have
in-depth documentation at hand.  I've found the online
manual, at
http://sourceware.o
rg/psim/manual, and this looks like the right idea,
but I'd prefer to have something more easily printable.  A
footnote at
the bottom of the table of contents portion of this page
leads me to
believe that it was created from texinfo source(s).  If I
had this
source, I should be able to create a PDF version of the
documentation (I
assume), which would be perfect.  And, in the GDB source
distribution,
there exists a file, sim/ppc/psim.texinfo, which would seem
to be what
I'm looking for... but it's not.  That file seems to be
cobbled together
from parts of the documentation on texinfo itself, plus
maybe a few FAQs
associated with PSIM, interleaved haphazardly.  In summary,
this file
seems to be seriously broken.

Can anyone point me to good texinfo source(s) for the PSIM
documentation?  (Or, if a PDF file is available, that would
be great,
too.)

Thanks in advance!

Barry,

That psim.texinfo file, who knows, and yes, it's bogus.

 From the point-of-view of the GDB/src CVS repository that
file was 
created as part of the original <<make GDB
public>> gorilla action that 
JasonM and I did back in '99 - we simply imported as much
of the "Cygnus 
CVS Tree" as we dared into the SRC CVS repo.  Going
back to that old 
Cygnus Tree, I see it appeared there (no changes since) back
in '96 - I 
wasn't working for Cygnus then!

I'm currently chasing down old archives to figure out
exactly what went 
down (which is getting tricky as prior to '01 my local
backups are on 
DAT .

I'm pretty sure you need a find a psim-doc-BLAH archive
(peer to 
psim-test-BLAH) that contains all the needed stuff.
