Here in Erlangen I've made a small tree with NetBSD-Amiga relating material.
Look at http://www.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/tree/Departments/IMMD-IV/Persons/roessler/NetBSD-Amiga/index.html

The conversion from texinfo to html is made by a small program I found with
archie, so it should be no problem to use texinfo for all docs. I think
there is a possibility to convert html-files to ascii - so the other way
round can be done, too.

Today I ftp'ed from ftp.uni-regensburg.de:/pub/os/NetBSD/NetBSD-Amiga/docs/NetBSD-Amiga-FAQ
and found:
drwxrwxr-x  2 bsdadmin      512 Nov 30 23:43 ./
drwxrwxr-x  7 bsdadmin     1024 Nov 30 23:43 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 bsdadmin    25445 Nov 30 19:01 A4.dvi.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 bsdadmin    16716 Nov 30 19:01 A4.texinfo.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 bsdadmin    25636 Nov 30 19:02 USLETTER.dvi.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 bsdadmin    14941 Nov 30 19:02 txt.gz

when unzipping A4.texinfo.gz I get

zcat: A4.texinfo.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error
Exit 1

:-(
