[Rustynutt]

There's no version reference on the box, manual, floppy or cheat sheet.
The readme just says to enter V1.23 on the registration card
The manual is a paperback book.

The manual is a paperback book.

Is there not a published date towards the front of the book ? as 87/88/89 is version 1 and 91 is version 2.

Also for example, these commands are not in version 1 manual.

Apologies.
On the 2nd, and only page "1988"
And correct, those above pages don't exist in this manual.

Still looking...

Ive had a fairly good loock on the 'net on your behalf... (abe books and the like)

I cant believe it is so hard to find!

I can find new v1 manuals, but theres not much of a trace of v2.

Did it come out just before Hisoft abandoned the ST market or something?

Thanks, I'm not sure when it came out, likely as you say towards the end and maybe not many books were made.. hisoft were still active in the PC world I think a few years ago, I have emailed them multiple times but never had a response

But yeah, it seems a bit of a rare one. I do have a PDF scan of it, so all is not lost, but I just prefer to have a book for some things..

What about a 'plan b'...

You'll need a mono laser printer for this.

IIRC, my Hisoft manuals (Devpac at least) is just a ringbound A5 affair anyway, so a binder should suffice.

Yeah but it's just not the same
