Download HTML documentation?

From

Hi,

I'm trying to download the HTML version of the manual (8.3.1). It does not seem to be part of the Windows installer any
more.Instead the a chm version is included.  

At http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/ it says the HTML can be downloaded in the FTP area, but I cannot find any
downloadthat "sounds" like it contained the pre-built HTML manual. At least no directory or file with "doc" or "manual"
inits name.  

What am I missing?

I think it would be a nice idea to add a direkt link on the main documentation page for the HTML download (next to the
PDFlinks) 

Regards
Thomas

Did you look in the dev directory of the ftp?

Yes and no. I did see the dev directory, but assumed that the the manual for the stable release would not be stored in
adirectory called "dev". The manual in there says "8.4" so I guess it is really "bleeding edge" and might contain
informationnot applicable to 8.3.
