DocView mode (@code{doc-view-mode}) is a viewer for DVI, Postscript
-(PS), and PDF documents. It provides features such as slicing,
-zooming, and searching inside documents. It works by converting the
-document to a set of images using the @command{gs} (GhostScript)
-command, and displaying those images.

@cindex doc-view-minor-mode
- When you visit a PDF or DVI file, Emacs automatically switches to
-DocView mode. When you visit a Postscript file, Emacs switches to PS
-mode, a major mode for editing Postscript files as text; however, it
-also enables DocView minor mode, so you can type @kbd{C-c C-c} to view
-the document with DocView. (PDF and DVI files, unlike Postscript
-files, are not usually human-editable.) In either case, repeating
-@kbd{C-c C-c} (@code{doc-view-toggle-display}) toggles between DocView
-and the file text.
+ When you visit a document file with the exception of Postscript
+files, Emacs automatically switches to DocView mode if possible
+@footnote{The needed external tools for this document type have to be
+available, emacs needs to run in a graphical frame, and PNG image
+support has to be compiled into emacs. If any of these requirements
+is not fulfilled, DocView falls back to an appropriate mode.}. When
+you visit a Postscript file, Emacs switches to PS mode, a major mode
+for editing Postscript files as text; however, it also enables DocView
+minor mode, so you can type @kbd{C-c C-c} to view the document with
+DocView. (PDF and DVI files, unlike Postscript files, are not usually
+human-editable.) In either case, repeating @kbd{C-c C-c}
+(@code{doc-view-toggle-display}) toggles between DocView and the file
+text.
You can explicitly toggle DocView mode with the command @code{M-x
doc-view-mode}, and DocView minor mode with the command @code{M-x
@samp{foo}. The @code{emacsclient} program can specify a server by
name, using the @samp{-s} option (@pxref{emacsclient Options}).
+@findex server-eval-at
+ If you have defined a server by a unique server name, you can
+connect to this server from other Emacs instances and evaluate forms
+on it by using the @code{server-eval-at} function.
+
+@code{(server-eval-at "foo" '(+ 1 2))} gives the result @code{3}, if
+there's a server with that name that is listening. If not, an error
+will be signaled.
