Hello All,

With setting up a door, would you rather have text or PDF documentation? I am working on my Cheepware doors and am pondering this question.

Personally Txt is more useful depending on the client connecting :-)

I'd rather have text files -- as setting up doors usually involves fiddling with files, and text files can be read from the command line.

Best regards

Depends on the documentation. Short, to the point, assuming the reader has some knowledge of what they are reading, text for sure. Long, chaptered, everything but the sink, pdf.

... Unzip... expand... What kind of pervert came up with this?

Text, but either will do. It is easier to copy BAT file/script file
examples out of a TXT document.
