Peter, were you suggesting that it seems commonplace to restrict the distribution of manuals even if they contain exactly the same information about the same machinery as other manuals which are readily available? Or perhaps that manuals are gradually disappearing due to the availability of information via computers, internet, CDs, and so forth?
The latter, I think. It's so expensive to produce paper manuals, so cheap to make a CD or put it on line, that it's a no-brainer for the company. Plus the possibility of including updates from time to time.
