Hello,

I've been using Rockbox in my Sansa Clip Zip for about a year - Like some other users, I had a few problems that I solved along the way.
I just want to express my thanks to the people who freely offered their time to create Rockbox, not to mention the manual itself, a 200+ pages affair that covers all aspects of the application. They truly did a great work.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

I'd love to find a RB manual that covered all aspects of the application. The only manuals I can find do not accord with the RB program. If someone can point me to any version of the manual and any version of the program that actually accord (for example, the manual covers the command names that are actually in the program), please do.

Thanks.

There really is no need for this, you know full well we don't supply multiple different manuals. You are starting to get a little tiresome now - you want the manual to be more up-to-date? Patches welcome.

AFAICS, the project supplies a different manual for each port.

Yes I do and I will be happy to help to achieve that.

I thought a good place to start was with some version of the program and manual that were accurate with respect to each other. I take it from your answer there's no such version. OK. Could you perhaps suggest which version (port) might be nearest this? Thanks.

The manuals for each port are built from the same source (in latex), hence me referring to it as one manual.  As a result there is only one manual to work on. If it is generic it is applied to all port manuals, if it is device specific you use \OPT{whatever} in the latex source.

Fair enough. I'd taken your "we don't supply multiple different manuals" to refer to the supplied manuals rather than the source.

Understood. It is the device-specific result I'm interested in.

If anyone can suggest which device-specific supplied manual is the best example of completeness and accuracy, I'd be grateful to hear. Thanks.
