Puebasic puremanual to post

[wcardoso]

Please, can someone share about 2,8 Mbytes of server disk space to upload my compiled version of the Purebasic help file ?
It is a word document formatted to print-out and put in an organizer to use everywhere, and to add new pages as soon as Fred release new versions of PB.
I´d planned to translate a full version of this manual to spanish languages as soon as I can post the english version to share with all you.

Sure, I'll put it up on purebasic.org if you want.. Send me a link to grab it, or email it to me if you want..

I was just asking for this in another message. I have permission to use some bandwidth at work, so I can put a copy there. You can E-Mail it to:

phil@cgallery.com

and I'll have it up the same day.

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks Karbon and you´re right, it has took too much time to complete the work, but was worth while !
I continue correcting some mispelled words, some or there and when complete it I gonna send the finished work.
Thanks again !

pthien, I sent you a copy too and as soon you post it please post the link.
Thanks a lot !

If you want to translate in spanish, it would be good to use the cvs.purebasic.com files, as there is some useful tools to generates differents formats. Send me an email to discuss about it: fred_at_purebasic.com.

i downloaded and printed it, very nice work. i think it'll be very usefull... just wish it was a bit thinner ^^'

I started "correcting" a few grammar faults and some misspelling.... I haven't gone through the whole document, but I'll send you my suggestion to the doc later...

I've got a 2nd site up w/ Wilfredo's manual. It is available here:

http://cgallery.dyndns.org

A direct link to the download:

http://cgallery.dyndns.org/PureBasic_3.72.zip

I'm sure the bandwidth at purebasic.org is better, but in the event that their site is down you can grab the manual from mine (which uses the Atomic Web server, BTW .

Thanks,
Phil

Wilfredo's PureBasic manual is now also available at http://www.purearea.net

Guys, feel free to grab the RTF and PDF versions from http://www.purebasic.org/comments.php?id=P10_0_1_0 and distribute as you see fit!

[wcardoso]

aszid, you can separate some parts like the "History", and the "2D Libraries" and "3D Libraries", or whatever you want; and make separate manuals following your needs. This can reduce the size as you like.
Thanks again to André, pthien, Karbon and all the nice people here, and please think in some nice and original cover for the manual.
I have some ideas...

[Karbon]

If there is any serious interest I can talk to a friend that has a printing business to see what it would cost to print "real" manuals.. Though shipping will probably make it too expensive to be of any real use

I have a program called ClickBook (http://www.clickbook.com) which I purchased from Blue Squirrel software. It allowed me to print the manual in book form, four pages to a single 8.5 x 11in page. I printed one side of the paper, then flipped it over and printed the other side. I took it to my local Kinkos and had them cut the paper in half and coil bind it into two books, cut roughly in the middle.

Total cost with binding about $13. Each book is only 5.5" x 7.5" by about .6" thick. The type is rather small, but they are very easy to transport and I can read them fine.

Is anyone out there working on a PureBasic book, other than the manual?

Thanks,
Phil
