dear Friends,
I'm delighted with the game, however the pdf manual won't open. The error message reads : "There was an error opening this document. Could not repair file."
Any clues?

What kind of PDF reader you have (and what version)?

Adobe 4.0
It won't open from the main UI, continuing to give an error message, however, by going into the C drive and opening up the game : I could select the manual and a manual (light). Manual Light opened. The other did not.
What's the difference? There's no indication that "light" means less-than-complete.
I've bought the dl and hardcopy so can make do until the post arrives.
Thanks for the reply.
Been playing since 07:30 this morning.
Reminds me of the old Atomic/ThreeSixty releases of the early 90's.
Wonderful to relive such pleasant times again.

Currently I am running Adobe 9.4 and no issues, you might have to upgrade your Adobe if possible. Besides only the first 5 sections are in the hard copy print out (about 140 of the 377 pages).

Sounds like you just need a recent verison of a free PDF Reader (Acrobat Reader
http://get.adobe.com/reader/ or Foxit

Good!
The PDF specifications changed a lot since your very very old Adobe v4.0... [;)]
