Hi Neil,
As this is the proper v2.0 manual - if you are willing to let me keep it
(!) then yes, please send it across - it's just a shame that we can't
scan it in (anyone fancy typing it in?)

Good news then that it is in a light blue colour - it should photocopy
without problems - any chance you could have a go at scanning it (even
if not OCR) so that it can be placed with the copy of the program for
download!

emailing as pdf's expect a few !!!
Rich
It would appear that the photocopier in work does rather more
than just photocopy! it has the option to email as .pdf's also!!
Four .pdf's should be sitting in your email inbox, did a quick trial run to
my work email and that seemed to work.
Fingers crossed.

What about the source code?
I don't know - the source code for Super Reversi is already included in
the manual.
I will ask Gerry about the source code for Super Forth (if he still has
it!).
