DOCUMENTATION DETAILS - FORMATS
The manuals available in the VA C++ product come in hardcopy, and softcopy in several formats, depending on what medium you buy: Medium     Standard Manuals         Extended Ref Manuals - 3.5"+doc    Hardcopy                 No hardcopy              Softcopy .INF            Softcopy .INF  -  CD          Softcopy .INF            Softcopy .INF              Postscript files         Postscript files              BookManager Read files   BookManager Read files              No hardcopy              No hardcopy  -  CD+doc      Hardcopy                 No hardcopy              Softcopy .INF            Softcopy .INF              Postscript files         Postscript files              BookManager Read files   BookManager Read files

In other words:
 * Both the Standard and Extended manuals are available in SOFTCOPY in ALL versions of the product.
 * The +doc option means you get the Standard Manuals in hardcopy
 * We don't ship the Extended Manuals with any version of the product. They always come softcopy, and if required in hardcopy, must be ordered separately.
 * The CD option has only softcopy doc, no hardcopy at all. That's why it's always cheaper.

Plus ..

The .INF and .BOO (BookManager) files can be accessed from the CD-ROM, i.e. not installed to the hard drive, to save space.
