Gadzooks. The program is still incredibly worthwhile even if one has to spring some extra bux for a third-party manual (and happily there apparently is one, from Worley/Apex, see later). But it's really bugging to see a manual that's so obviously one-drafted, no index so they say "read the whole thing, it's a complex product…" I used it for bedtime reading for several days before breaking down and installing the product (thank heaven for read.me files — the manual authors couldn't even count the disks). Then I tried the Appendix 'Imagine Tutorial'. Mistake. At least three major errors that I know about (assuming that a largely black screen is one of them!). It's a good thing that I "know" the product is a lot more carefully written than the documentation…. Their hearts are in the right place (as opposed to the TS manual, which simply refused to tell you eg how to load objects), but please –edit! reread! revise! think of your poor readers! Three spelling typos on the first page, for pity's sake! — Eric A.
