I am a paper-copy person, but printing software manuals in bulk is like curving in stone the flow of a river, pretending that the river will stop flowing.

Not to mention that currently the gretl user guide is 445 pages, let alone all the other help files.

They are nicely formatted in .pdf and anyone that does want to have them in print, can have them printed and binded for themselves.

Although it's certainly their resources to consume as they like, I think it would be a pity if the GoG were to spend any time, money, or space, on this issue. It's not like they 're Legion.

Ok, my bad. I just assumed that it was made available by the authors of the project. Sure I could just print it out but would prefer a nicely bound copy, and I don't like reading from a screen. A real book is better for this kind of material because it's easier to flip back and forth between topics.

I sympathize with that point of view. Maybe we should explore options for making a printed copy available. But it would have to be "on demand" and somehow tied in with gretl updates: we wouldn't want to spend a lot getting something printed just to end up with unsold and outdated stock.

As time permits, I'll try looking into that possibility.
