Hello Joel

Thank you for the tip.
Ok, I saw version 9 is documented here now:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/index.html


I noticed "refcard" and "stack_frame" only have gz versions. refcard.pdf.gz is actually only 1000 bytes smaller compressed, maybe simpler just to show it as a PDF? At least it shows in the browser then.


stack_frame.pdf.gz is 7000 bytes smaller. I'm sure the web-browser would download it via http compression anyway.

Thank you
Jonny
