Re: Location of PSIM documentation sources?

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.
