Given a choice, most folks I know or have spoken with prefer paper manuals, not electronic or on-line networked manuals.

In the end it's not if it is printed or not, It what's in them that counts. Poser is an example of how not to write a manual.

So very true and a good example to give. We all know what happened to CL. Apparently,the included pdf with C5 has errors in it also and that is a part of this mosaic that I am painting. Eovia is so concerned about turning out a product and maintaining market share that they can not even be bothered to correct old errors as well as include correct new information about their software. They lower the price and leave the customer to buy aftermarket books which may or may not contain correct information.

If the pdf were corrected and contained all the new features then there would be a lot less to this picture. Spiraling down into darkness is never good, cutting corners on your way down is really not good.

Understand all, I am not upset, mad or angry with Eovia. I knew what I was getting when I paid for C5Pro. I am just putting together the pieces of this mosaic. Hopefully Eovia will not go the way of CL.
