Given that the docs are just PDF files, and also that the changes
between PowerHouse versions have broad interest...

Is there any chance of making these PDF files available for download
from the web site?

It's tough enough to find paper manuals at some shops.  Finding an even
smaller CD may be a greater challenge.  Having a source for docs that
"cannot be lost or misplaced" -- especially one that has the greatest
chance of being the "most accurate info available" -- would be quite
useful.
