Well, this is what Adobe provides for Photoshop in lieu of a manual. (This
approach is no doubt partly responsible for the huge plethora of
instructional books and websites that try to fill in what Adobe has left
out.) It has its good and bad points, but two things are for sure: it
requires a big allocation of resources, and even so it is incomplete and out
of date. Adobe of course has plenty of software resources to throw at this,
and has various ways of trying to get incremental revenues out of their
web-based help. However, Elecraft gets revenues only when they sell
hardware.
