Boy, are there ever.  The first version I saw, all of 18 months ago, was
1.26 or some such.  The one I was most recently working with was 2.32.
If you ftp the emacs manual, this one should do it.  You may have to make
some changes, depending on your fonts locally - I had to change a couple
of references to cmb10 to cmbx10 before it got happy. Still gave acceptable
results on the emacs manual.

I think prep.ai.mit.edu has that version, either standalone or as part of
the emacs kit.
