There are two primary forms of documentation for Tinderbox.
- The Tinderbox Manual (Mac HTML Help).
- The Release Notes (read-only TBX).
Both the above are included inside the application package and can thus be accessed from the Help menu. If it is desired to store/view either of these documents externally open the Tinderbox application package; Ctrl+/Right+click the Tinderbox application icon in Finder, select 'Show Package Contents' from the context menu, then in the new window open folders Contents -> MacOS -> doc. The documents can then be copied to any other location.
Eastgate offers user-to-user help via the Tinderbox forum (http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/forum/) and the Tinderbox wiki at http://www.eastgate.com/wiki2/wiki.cgi?TinderboxWiki. Eastgate provides the wiki resource but anyone is welcome to post - either questions or help/information for others.
This resource - aTbRef- also available online at http://www.acrobatfaq.com/atbref5/index.html, although it should be noted it is not an official Eastgate resource.
