Personally I prefer -good- printed manuals. More than enough to document for a user manual + tips & tricks book + plug-in disk?. I'd buy one along with TC if availble..
Most importantly a capable technical writer (nothing implied) in whatever formats are needed to satisfy and expand the customer base, no?
Frankly, I'm going to use:
1st - what I want if available - printed
2nd - what I have to
Which lead me to this other option which isn't in the poll.
What about PDF? Good on computers, cross platform and prints well if so desired.

Well, the PDF "manual" is just a reference card and you have to be registered, too.

Forgot something... I am for .HLP for TC internal help.
norfie - I was unaware that a .PDF manual came with the diskette, not registered yet. Great!
As for .chm manuals, I've used some. Some wanted to link to websites, some not. All look like yet another use MS has found for IE world domination. If true screw .chm!
Despite the relativly small additional components most people need to use chm help, just wait... It won't be that long before you need IE version<insert big number here> SP<insert smaller number here> installed to use some new widget in the .chm format.

If you want a current manual in PDF then you can send an email to "
support@ghisler.com" with your registration data (Help/About Totalcmd then press Ctrl+C and in your email press Ctrl+V).
That’s only available in German if I’m not wrong (or maybe French). The English version is only the reference card as Roman mentioned here.

I dislike stupid .GID files after opening .HLP
.PDF is my favourite one! (even .CHM better than .HLP)
