The Vox Studio user guide is available both as an on-disk help file "Vox Studio 3.chm" in compiled HTML format and as an on-disk manual "VS3Manual.pdf" in PDF portable document format. Both contain exactly the same information.
The ".chm" help file is best suited for on-line consultation while the ".pdf" file is intended to be printed to your printer for off-line reading as a printed manual. The printable version is directly derived from the help file and may therefore be rather repetitious.
To view and print the ".pdf" file you will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. The PDF file format has become a widely accepted standard format for information distribution. It works on most computer platforms. Most systems therefore already have this installed nowadays. If you do not yet have Acrobat Reader, you can obtained a free reader from the following website: http://www.adobe.com or select a special version for your country or language directly from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html
You probably already have all you need to view the ".chm" help file in compiled HTML format. You need to have Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later installed on your computer (this is needed anyway to run Vox Studio 3). You do not have to be using IE though. If you have Windows 98, Me or 2000 you already have all the required files installed. If you only have Windows 95 or NT4 but have Microsoft Office 2000 installed, you also already have all you need to view ".chm" files (the latest Microsoft help files also come in this format). As a result, ".chm" files can be viewed on most newer Windows installations. Please note that the ".chm" format has been announced as the future format for all Microsoft help files and your time invested in updating your system is not likely to be wasted (unless you plan to move away from Windows). There is an interesting article on the Microsoft web site What Is the Minimal Internet Explorer Installation for HTML Help . If you still would rather not install all you need to view help files in ".chm" format, you can use the ".pdf" manual instead, but remember that the ".pdf" file was optimized for printing, not for on-screen reading.
If you require the documentation in yet another file format than those two, contact Xentec with your specific need and we will try and accommodate your request to the best of our ability.
