Well my two cents worth has a more positive beat..... At the moment we are installing a considerable portion of the BMC Mainview suite... I find the CD's easy to use, you launch one file and all the documents are presented in a logical easy to understand sequence. The documentation is well structured and pretty clear..... But they are PDFs
On support sites - again- good job from BMC on the Knowledge Base - now if only they supported Firefox :-((( So kudos to BMC (or should the credit go to B&B??)..... James F.

And navigating the websites is generally likewise. Being a contractor for several customers makes the registration requirements even worse. Most of these loons can't even manage their own cookies. Personally I don't like pdf for this either, but could live with it *if* I could find the right manual. For example, with CAs monumentally inane product renaming of a while back I *still* have trouble locating their stuff. Twits !!!. </rant> Looks like a fine Autumn morning - better go walk the mutts to calm down.
