RW:

2: various tutorials + full help online, not contextual

Pr:

  1. Users' Guide in English, bound, TOC, index; not an alphabetic nor systematic reference manual. Complete, precise, clear, reliable (does not solve difficult tasks)
  2. chap. "Guided tour" + on-line help. (Shorter manual only for read-only Data distributor version)
  3. yes but not really contextual; MS-Windows like, contains less info than the printed Guide

En:

  1. Users' Guide in English, only as Adobe PDF file; not an alphabetic nor systematic reference manual. Complete, precise, clear; see the online help to get more secure, though not definite, information
  2. "Getting started" on CD as PDF + Guide Tour printed (some 90 pages) 
  3. unsufficiently contextual

RM:

  1.  Users' Guide in English, bound, TOC, index; not an alphabetic nor systematic reference manual. Could be more precise and complete: does not solve difficult tasks, hides some important details, does not include Import File Editor IFE (see Help or ad hoc PDF file on CD)
  2. "Guided Tour" on CD and in the online help file
  3. yes contextual and complete -with few exceptions
