The following will partially document the source for the manuals for the various CP/M products that I have created, or handled, over the years. Some of them, I created myself. Where possible, the original source files for the desktop publishing system used to create the file will be present. Some of these manuals have been done by users of my website, "the Unofficial CP/M Website". I may or may not have the original source for them.

The purpose of this archive is mainly to prevent the sources from getting lost. You may nevertheless feel free to download them and use them. Please note:
Caldera owns the software, but I consider these manuals to be public domain. They should not be sold; only given away. Note that Caldera still owns the software. It may be used freely for individuals, and non-profit use. If the software is used for commercial use, you must contact Caldera for a license. The manuals are still free.
