I have recently acquired these user manuals, in fact the entire retail box contents. So expect to see these scanned and uploaded on here in the near future!

The Band-in-a-Box v5 has four disks full of styles etc, which may not be available on the internet; if not I will upload them as well.

Thank you ncgm for this, even more to add to the growing collection 1.5GB and rising...

When I get some spare time (ironic as I'm unemployed at the moment) I'm going to go through the manuals and see if I can convert them into pdf's like I did with the Cubase audio manual. Won't save any space but it would then be one single file. 650 odd pictures was a bit much with Cubase

Thanks Malcolm,

creating cleaned up perfect white pages as pdf files is time consuming, so I now tend to just do quickly edited photos or scans, but if you know the secret to quick decent looking pdf files I would like to know.

I picked up a load of music and dtp software from a man in Askwith, who said he had not done anything with them since 1990/1, which is around the time he bought them. It's all in very nice condition.

Oh and being unemployed or long term sick does not translate into more free time. I got far more done and achieved when I was in full time work, with dodgy ever changing hours, i.e. a day shift followed by a night shift hours later.

I have a number of options for creating PDF files on the mac, including Microsoft office, openoffice (or libreoffice as it is now) and preview, all alongside good(!) old adobe craprobat

Ahh Acrobat is what I have always used since v4 or something, but it is the mother of all bloatware these days. What would you recommend for a Windows and occasional Ubuntu Linux user such as myself, or is it better to use two or three separate smaller applications?

There was a free PDF creator on the pc, though I can't remember what it was called. It used to be distributed with compaq small desktop pcs a few years ago.

I'll have a look around and see what I can find

Late this evening I photographed the Rave user manual and box carton, plus I cropped and auto touched up the pages, numbering and naming them too. This was done under house lighting but is plenty readable. I tried imaging the one floppy disk I have but it had errors and crashed with STeem v3.2. Also there must be an extra disk for monochrome use.

Sorry for the late reply to the PDF thing earlier in the thread, but a free PDF creator can be found here over at sourceforge.
