Problem printing manual - 5/17/2002 12:12:48 AM

This will sound lame, but I have a problem printing the manual. My printer at home is broken, so I wanted to print out the manual at my office. Turned out that the manual is much too big for a disk, and zipping (at home) gave no satisfying result. I also tried to send the file via email from home to myself, so I can simply download it at my office, but it exceeded the sizelimit I have for attachments.
So I took the CD to work. Thing is, I got a MAC there, and I just noticed, the pdf manual is not accessible from the CD-Rom without installing the game (which is not possible on the mac).

I would like to print out the manual *today*, at my office where I am now. So could maybe someone of Matrix send it to me via email? If this will be confirmed, I would provide my ("real") email address via private messaging.

Thanks in advance,

Hartmann

My hopes in getting the manual printed today are slowly waning ... :( My o my, if the pdf were accessible directly from the CD everything would be just fine!

Yesterday, my copy was "out for delivery" since 7:50am. It arrived on 5:15pm. It all depends on which route they take, I guess.
Anyway, you'll be in for a great evening. :)

Yesterday, at the office, I got nothing at all done because my mind was firmly set on the arrival of UV. Then, at home, I played until 2am with the effect that today I'm totally useless at work, too.

Hope this vicious cycle doesn't last too long, for else I can trash my career for good. :)

For future games we will do both, put it in the install but also make it on the CD proper this way everyone will be able to access the manual. Damm Mac.... there still causing me problems.

verily, but they're such lovely machines what with the new os and all. i'm actually kind of hacked off that i might have to rehabilitate my pc for this game (that, or get an emulator if i really can't put up with it.)

as for the other guys, i take it that zipdiscs and cd-r's aren't an option? if your office isn't -that- picky you might be able to email the manual to work, as i've found that the usual mailserver limit is around 5 mb. ymmv.
if you happen to have newer equipment and an external firewire drive you might be able to get some love that way, too.
