QTR-Quadtone RIP

But, the documentation is essentially open source. It was not written by Roy,
but by a QTR user. It is published as a PDF for convenience, but I am sure Tom
Moore would be more than happy to provide the original MS Word document to any
and all who would wish to improve it.

I will certainly make the same offer for the QTRgui help. It is in HTML. Who is
volunteering? 

By the way, I have been in computers since 1962 (and photography since the
1950's). I don't understand how the time in service has anything to do with
ability to write or communicate.

I am going to have to strongly disagree with the last post--and I have written a
couple of computer books, including the first book on how to do research on the
Internet back in 95. I have also written internal tip sheets at the company
where I work.

For someone who has worked with computers since 81, unfortunately, I found some
parts of the documentation cnfusing. For me, as new user, there was too much
concentration on creating new curves and not enough on helping the newbie get
the system up and running.

And the search function here on Yahoo Groups is not that good, if you are
searching for specific hints.

I also understand that this a part time effort.

The solution is  to turn the documentation into open source...I have seen open
source manuals that work well for other sofeware.

Those people with experience with the software rather than dismissing new users
could take the time to write a few paragraphs on a section where they have a lot
of experience or  have special hints and upload them to the file folders.  Then
after a check by other users, the information can bue used to update the
documentation.
