It's deformed by replacementdocs indeed. But as you can see right at the start, it's 2.0. Windows version. And docs taken right from the CD.

I uploaded full doc pack, but I am not exactly sure that it will work for DOS version.

---update---
I tracked official free DOS version, and it's packed with manuals too. v2.0 in the main file too, but file is different. shrug Ok, I reaploaded this pack instead. If it's good for authors, who am I to argue.

wysiwyg found

  • manual (current one is a "preview manual" v2.0 as you can see on the note on the cover page and described above, this seems to be the earlier version for the DOS version ... maybe add both, one as an alternate manual in extras?)

It's a scanned manual, but looks somewhat suspicious for me. Basically, because it failed to print quote characters in text. All such characters was replaced with... well, it's better to show.

It happens in any use of ` and ´ (and all 's spelled initially as ´s looks weird in result). Maybe typo. Maybe someone printed e-docs and scanned them. shrug

Ugh, it even non-consistent in a course of manual. %( Sometimes it goes to that:

And sometimes even magically cured!

So I would vote for "very bad original quality" then, and possibly typographic errors.

I don't believe this is very useful in this state...?
