Hello Allister,

Well  I  hope that not too many would be! The idea of paying extra for
the  manual  isn't  a new one of course...but usually that's only when
the manual is made available in print; a hard copy IOW.

A  help  system should be an integral part of any software package and
purchasers  shouldn't  be expected to pay extra to acquire it. It'd be
like buying a washing machine and paying extra for the instructions on
how  to  operate it. It's up to RIT to make certain that their product
can be 'operated' by supplying adequate documentation to support it.

If  we learnt from RIT that the cost of producing better documentation
was going to lead to an increase in the price of The Bat! I think some
people  would  feel quite split over it. One of the attractions of TB!
is  its  price,  and  I  think  that a price hike would make it a less
attractive  choice  for  those  contemplating  moving  away  from free
versions.

At  just under �25 sterling/�35 I think TB! is priced just about right
myself.
