I think selling manuals is a wonderful way to participate in the software
business.  A bug in a manual doesn't crash the entire book, it's hard
to make perfect copies, and the legal protection is unambiguous.

I firmly believe that much of the market for books about dBase and 1-2-3, with
complete command-by-command explanations results from the desire of people who
have stolen a copy to get a manual.  Some of these books are better than the
original documentation.

When I sell my shareware, it will not be very usable without a manual.  It
will be priced modestly above the price for a manual alone.  As long as I
remain small enough to render the cost of a manual clone prohibitive, I am
fine, and if I get that big, I'm fine too.  Of course, this means my
shareware cannot be another game or another terminal emulator, so I guess I
will have to find an original contribution to make.  Hmmm...
