English Manual for MagiC 6.2

Post by Gaiyan »

Merry Christmas!

For a few years I wanted to have a go at translating the MagiC 6.2 manual to English and gave it a serious go in May of this year. As with all things I do, I got 95% there and lost interest. I re-connected with it again this week and made a few tweaks and decisions. I decided to release this manual even though I feel that it's still not 100%. I haven't proof read it properly and some images are not there yet. I have not included the index as I feel it's not worth the effort. I have added an appendix even though the original does not have it.

This is a faithfully accurate re-creation. The cover is done from scratch apart from the MagiC logo. The fonts used in the manual are 100% the same. The layout is pretty much identical. I used Affinity Publisher 2.30

I hope you enjoy it and please let me know of issues and maybe I'll release a final version with fixes.

Excellent work. Congrats and a 'like'.
On pages 3, 58-74 Appendixes should be Appendices
Edit:I skim read it and could see no other tweaks. Maybe a copy to dev-docs website?

Nice work! I've compared it with my UK Manual for MagiC 6.2 by System Solutions, it is quite different. Mine has (c) 1998 instead of 2000 and doesn't mention PC and Mac flavours.
