Thanks fxgogo. Much appreciated. A scan of the latest manual that covers V5 also needs to be made available for reference.

Yeah, we do have a problem when it comes to manuals, especially for non game software. I am having the same issue with Cinema 4D. And to be honest some of the scans out there are just terrible quality. I am very keen to change that. Once I am back in the office with access to the document scanner, there is a bunch of manuals that For me to go through.

I have the distant suns 5.0 manual but with a different cover. Mine is the from the CD version which may explain the differences. It is pretty long (68 pages) but I'll try and scan it when I get a chance. The CD appears to be version 5.01. Not sure what the latest version was.

Hi all. Bumpin this thread (once again) to humbly request a scan of the manual that came with Distant Suns V5. Maybe this will be the year it finally enters the public domain! Thanks for reading.

Hi,
I am owner of the german boxed Version of Distans 4.0 (called Planetarium) and the Distans Suns CD 5.01 including original printed english Manual and german Instructions.

I will scan the ENG 5.0 Manual tomorrow and upload it to the Zone.

@AMIPEGUSER. You sir, are a true gentleman and a scholar. A big THANK YOU for all your effort. This manual was M.I.A for years! This is an invaluable addition to the EAB community which is still going strong thanks to all the helpful individuals who follow, give their time and contribute to this wonderful board.

You´re welcome.

It´s fun for me to help Amigans. When you started your search I wasn´t a member here and since I am here I have solved some really long time searches like the Dark Angel Full Version or Legend of Falconia. It was a pity that I saw yours not earlier. Sorry for that.

Nice one I've added the scans to the file server in 'Collection/Scans/Manuals/Applications'. If somebody converts them to a PDF please post about it too so that we can add it.

You can scan it, but I will only put the raw scans on the file server. Of course every manual saved is a good thing
