Online Manual

For those who cannot download the game on their work computers, is there an online or other form of the manual?
If you study it at work it doesn't horn in on your playing time at home, hehe

I'm in the same boat as you.
I guess we could email the link from our home computers to the workplace and that might work. Doesn't really help with today though.

Actually I can download the game at work but figured someone is going to have this problem and I didn't want to waste Shrapnel's bandwidth for a game that won't play on that computer (no video card).
After dl'ing SPWAW at 400+mb just for the manual, I found a player that has that manual for dl on his website.

I just went ahead and printed the thing out. Massive, I tell you, but I can't stand having to alt-tab back and forth.

Unfortunately this doesn't work. Don't know why I thought it might thinking about it with hindsight. It'll have to be a cut and paste job instead.

Well while I did print out all of those HTML pages, some were fine but some had the last few words on the RH side of the page chopped off. It's not a disatrous consequence and I can read enough of it to get by for now.

Got it running on my work computer.
Intel integrated graphics 64mb. Sound off of course.
Hmmm, suppose I can email my self saved games and play...
Hey look, dust trails are back in the tutorial.

If you want a PDF version, get something like PDF CREATE by scansoft (~$50US at CompUSA, if not on sale). It creates a virtual printer that you select when printing the document. It then takes the document and "prints" it to a PDF file.

It is great for posting stuff online, too. I use it in my ministry for newsletters, workbook updates, etc.. By using PDF instead of HTML folks don't have to worry about printing issues. Plus, documents can be searchable.

Just my $0.02US.

What manual are you talking about ? I did expect a pdf (obviously for me

)but only found some html pages.. That's the manual ? I hate html manuals 'cause you can't print them properly...

I have heard exactly the same thing said about PDF ( i.e. they hate it ) The manual is in HTML becasue virtually everyone has the capability to view HTML.

We attempt to make everyone happy but it's simply not possible. I can assure you if we had made the manual PDF we'd have complaints about that too.
