[BC] Manuals online...Not

[Jeff Allen]

I love manuals online in PDF.  They are easily updated.  The companyn could
just simply send with the product a sheet on where the manual is located on
the Internet.
No need to password protect it, just don't make any link to it available.
Competitors can't get to it if they don't know the file name or see a link
on the website.
One of these days I'd like to spend some time scanning old manuals and make
them available to this list.  We could put together a nice little depository
of manuals that are no longer easy to get.  I have tons of server space.
