Scanned copies of the manual would also be great as would the Concept 3D manual, as swensonT has not been able to find his manual for Concept 3D yet

Great - could you please email me Viewpoint for the preservation project - I have a copy preserved, but it's on the unsorted pile, so I don't know whether my copy works properly!
The copy of Viewpoint I have is an adapted version of my original. Like Concept 3D I have removed the need for the master copy in MDV. Like Concept 3D, I am more than happy to share this modified program with everybody else now it is freeware, and take the time to produce electronic copies of the documentation, but not if it is just a vehicle for somebody elses renumeration (its vintage software! by todays freeware standards at least, if not only in years, >25). I have no qualms with paying for reasonably recent software, otherwise I would just simply ignore it (plenty of superior freeware now, running on free OS). Apologies for the flame if the info I have been given is wrong.Dilwyn wrote :
This program is listed as a commercial program on Rich Mellor's website (£10+£2.50 P&P) and on QL Wiki.
Agreed, it is a very good manual as well. I will attempt some OCR'ing first, otherwise it'll be quite a big scanned file (many pages).Dilwyn wrote :
For Concept 3D, most certainly, this would be VERY welcome as it is not easy to use without the manual.
Unfortunately, Viewpoint is not freeware. However, we have now got a working copy with the copy protection removed - we are however missing a scanned manual for the preservation project.Silvester wrote: The copy of Viewpoint I have is an adapted version of my original.
