   I've been using a package manager to grab Gforth and should have known   
   to check the tarball.   
      
   I don't see a PDF in the ./doc folder, but I can make it from the   
   PostScript file.   
      
   ~/gforth-0.7.9_20250211/doc$ ls   
   2012-words   gforth.info-1  gforth.ps       makedoc.fs          vmgen.ps   
   fdl.texi     gforth.info-2  gforth.texi.in  Makefile.in         vmgen.texi   
   gforth.1     gforth.info-3  gforth.txt      standard-words.awk  words   
   gforth.css   gforth.info-4  glossaries.doc  version.texi.in   
   gforth.info  gforth.js      gpl.texi        vmgen.info   
      
   I could have also installed the gforth-pdf package which I was   
   previously unaware of:   
      
   $ sudo apt install gforth-pdf   
   ...   
   Selecting previously unselected package gforth-pdf.   
   (Reading database ... 371751 files and directories currently installed.)

   Unpacking gforth-pdf (0.7.9-20250211) ...   
   Setting up gforth-pdf (0.7.9-20250211) ...
