Allan,
you're right! I bought 6 copies of Citect 5 years agoo, complete with the printed manuals. I then didn't know what I know now, otherwise I would have bought them without the manuals. They're completely included in the help files. There are about 4000 (give or take a few) pages of them.
The cost was not justified: 3000 BEF for the CD, 16500 BEF for CD + printed manuals. One set of printed manuals would have been more than sufficient and I would have saved 67500 BEF (about 1700US$).
Kind regards,
