and are willing to make the binaries available 
(either on your own web site or by email on request)
please contact me and I will link to you from here.

This includes the complete documentation in html and roff man formats,
gallery of examples, all thumbnails.

It is basically equivalent to the web site.
You can serve it up with a web server, or access it on your hard disk
using a URL beginning with  file:///  instead of  http://.
