The PDF document linked to below is very much a "work in progress". I have updated the manual provided with DataCAD by adding some of my own notes (and removing some sections of the manual that are obsolete).

I have also added a number of routines that were previouly missing. For new procedures that have been added since DataCAD 8 the version of DataCAD where they were introduced is noted in the main text (but not in the alphabetical listing in chapter 9).
I have also removed the source code of the sample programs as it was corrupted in the official version of the manual, and the (uncorrupted) source files are included with the DataCAD distribution anyway.

Additionally, I have added some notes about the DCAL for Delphi equivalents to some of the documented variables and functions. There are heaps more notes that could be added about DCAL for Delphi, and it may never be complete in this regard (as I am simply adding notes as I find things, and am not actively researching things that need to be documented), but I am making it available in it's current state as it is probably more useful than nothing! (These Delphi notes have generally been added in red text.)

I would of course be quite happy to receive suggested content that could usefully be added!
