Unofficial Update Documentation Manual

Post by clintonman »

First release of the trueSpace Unofficial Updates Manual.

Includes a pdf file, a wmv video file and a replacement for the index.html file.
There is no installer. Includes instructions for copying the included files.
The manual works best when viewed inside a web browser. That's to say that the browser opens pdf files instead of opening a viewer application.
