All the documentation for the latest version of ht://Dig (3.1.6) is
available on the http://www.htdig.org/ web site.  The documentation for
your version is available in the "htdoc/" subdirectory of your ht://Dig
source tree, if you still have that available.  If you don't have the
source, you can still run "htdig -\?" to get an indication of the version
you're running.  If you're running an older version than 3.1.6, be aware
that some of the specific information on the web site's documentation
may not apply to your version, but most of the general stuff will.

In the left menu column on the web site, you'll find a lot of useful
information under the heading "General".  The sections "Configuration",
"Running ht://Dig", and "FAQ" will likely be most useful to you.  Read
through these carefully to get an understanding of how ht://Dig works, and
how to solve most of the common problems.  On most installations, running
"rundig" will reindex the site from scratch once properly configured.

Under "Reference", you'll also find details on all programs in the
ht://Dig suite, as well as descriptions of all configuration file
attributes available.
