On or about 06:31 01/15/04 a carrier pigeon from Lee Hoffman delivered:

v4 did include, besides the "Reference Manual" (which seems to be
equivalent to the v5 "User's Guide") AND a short 60-page "Getting Started"
manual.

The v4 RM was strictly an alphabetical listing of each feature,
and sometimes hard to find stuff in (reports were under CRW, for example).
It needed a Getting Started guide just to figure out how to use the
program. The v5 manual has the detail of the v4 RM, but arranged in order
of usage -- creating a project, data-set, data entry, reports...
