I believe that you do a 'make' and then print out the resulting
postscript, although there might be a way to create a text version of
them, but I don't know enough about the text tools to say for sure.

I believe that they are part of the original 4.4 lite distribution, and
the ones we don't have probably either don't apply to NetBSD or else have
licensing restrictions which are unacceptable to the NetBSD Project
(however, I suppose you'd have to ask core for the authoritative answer,
Jason?)
Later.
