i personally prefer .pdf b/c it is so versatile, but i own adobe pagemaker and distiller. i think you paul makes some very excellent arguments for using another format, i think we should be as easy to access for anyone that wants to help, and open source, to be read as free, is certainly easier to access than adobe, to be read as expensive. 
i have cheetah 8 i think, and it's really quite easy to use.
there's always html as well.
honestly, there's no reason why it can't be all of the above. and it probably wouldn't hurt to have a .txt version sans the pictures for those of us still using dial-up.
some individual points-
ziroc- readme files or tutorials? i think it's very different to have a file that says what a function does, and to have a file that walks someone through making an item or monster. i think both are very valuable, depending on what you want to get out out of the program.

Duh! I didn't even THINK of html. lol. (bonk) I think that would be the best and most compatible way to do the manual. Then we can have a text file (Readme) with no pics for the low bandwidth folks, and have a separate *maybe?* manual for tutorials.. Ideas?
