Manual

Documentations about SmartClient can be found at source:trunk/documentation.

The voluminous (around 100 pages), always outdated and still incomplete manual (in German !) can be found at here:

• LaTeX sources: source:trunk/documentation/betriebshandbuch/
• PDF: SmartClient-main.pdf​

Future documentation work should be done in this wiki.
