+	The Samba documentation for the 2.0 release has had all the man pages
+	converted to YODL source format. Because of this the man pages
+	are now available in both traditional man page format (in
+	the doc/manpages directory) and in HTML format (in the 
+	docs/htmldocs directory).
 
-	The Samba documentation for 1.9.17 has had some of its content
-	updated and a new structure has been put in place. However, since
-	this is all rather new the documentation format of previous
-	versions will remain in place. 
+	The text documentation files have been moved into a
+	docs/textdocs directory and are in the (slow) process
+	of being converted to YODL source format to allow them
+	to be easily converted to HTML/SGML.
+    
+	Note in particular two files - docs/textdocs/<your OS>_INSTALL.txt 
+	and docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt.
 
-	Note in particular two files - <your OS>_INSTALL.txt and DIAGNOSIS.txt
 	There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one
 	for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into
 	the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt.
 
-	You pay close attention to all the files with a
-	.txt extension. Most problems can be solved by reference to the 
-	two files mentioned.
