So I guess you have written permission from the author, haven't you ? Quoted from the Readme.doc: Copyright 1991 by Anders Bjerin. All rights reserved. This manual together with the examples may be given to others if no fee, except to cover the costs, is charged. The disks may not be modified, and may not be published in any form without written permission by the author. The C Manual is NOT Public Domain, you are only granted limited distribution rights for this otherwise copyrighted manual. I also doubt that $30 only cover the costs. >I will include 30 or so page dividers.

Are you just selling one or two extra copies you "accidently" made, or are you trying to collect orders commercially ? I guess a better way to spend the bucks is sending them to the author. He doesn't offer a printed version, but he DOES offer cheap updates to the manual to registered owners. So $30 would buy you registration ($25) and one update ($5). BTW: The most recent version is on Fred Fish Disks 456 and 457. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz, Kl. Drakenburger Str. 24, D-W-3070 Nienburg/Weser
