Hi Mapics ML:

I was at a meeting this morning at work and one of our bookkeepers who runs the 
A/P Mapics module made the comment, "I don't understand anything when I look in 
a Mapics manual."

Can you give me your opinion of the Mapics manuals in terms of:

1. How do you rate their general readability and understandability?

C-

2. Do they usually meet your needs when you research a topic in them?

Sometimes.

3. How do they compare to manuals of other ERP programs you may seen in your 
travels?

My guess is not too well, not had a lot of experience with other ERP manuals.

4. Have the Mapics manuals improved as they evolved thru the enhancements of 
the program over the years?

Not really since XA2 - XA4 (we're currently on XA4).

5. What other comments would you like to share with the Mapics ML about your 
experiences using the Mapics manuals?

They lack good examples and are a bit bulky.  Definitely need to be brought 
into this century.

I hope that many of the Mapics ML members will take the time from their busy 
schedules to share their experiences on this topic.

Regards.......
