Maybe they want a few hams to actually buy CT, as opposed to using copies
from friends...the manual is the one thing left not on that copy from C: to

Subject: [ct-user] WHY NO online manual for CT?
hi ct-user!
is there _any_ point WHY there´s no CT manual online?!?
you can download the newest version of CT, all sorts of callsign
databases (with mistakes in them, we all know that ;-)
BUT
no (updated) manual! at least i would like to download the latest
text version!
(in my humble opinion there should _already_ exist(!) such file in
electronic form - or did someone really type the manual with a
typewriter years ago and it wasn´t updated since then??!?)
i purchased CT looong ago - and unfortunately ordered it in Germany
thus getting a translated (german) manual *argh*
(wouldn´t do that nowadays!)
when i couldn´t find any details there about a special circuit which
some US hams mentioned somewhere on a list at contesting.com
OM Jim AD1C helped out with a copy (he´s a cooperative ham!).
just think about - you´re going to the Caribbean, you forgot your
manual - hey, but you have access to the internet.......
i really would suggest to RE-THINK this - and perhaps drop the
written manual and go on with a "online" version. it can be as simple
as a dos-text-file and the graphics extra (at least the circuits,
cause we all know how CT looks like ;-)
(does PDF sound good? how about that?)
we don´t need java, scripts or whatever - SIMPLE but ONLINE is good
enough!
