That's a load of you know what.  When 10.0 came out, Scott upgraded
only through mailed requests which required an upgrade fee even for
previously registered users.  That has nothing to do with the (stupid)
policy implemented soon thereafter upon discovery of millions of
insects crawling around in ole' Red.  Just because you can get into
the Round Table does *not* mean you are allowed to download 10.3.  You
must (should) have payed the upgrade fee.  That's all academic of
course, since he did place it in the downloads area and most people
seem to fail to read that license thing there that says all this.

Anyway, if you have 10.3 and no documentation, either you don't keep
documentation or you stole 10.3 from the Round Table.
