There isn't any manual for Dev-C++. I do not participate in the =
development
of Dev-C++ too.

As far as I know there isn't any manual. But is there any need for a =
manual
regarding Dev-C++? If you think there is, there is a great thing you can =
do.
Since it can't be large anyway, you can write one with your name always =
in
it, and provide it freely for all the rest on the web. I am sure Colin =
will
place it at his web site willingly. After all, that's what open source
projects are about. There is even GNU license for manuals!

As far as I know there isn't one. However please make your own as an =
HTML if
you wish to make it open source.
