Anyone who is doing "internal type" stuff with SE (pretty much anything that requires knowledge of the data structures used by SE) would find this manual very helpful. You can order it by itself (you don't have to buy CISAM). There is no information in the SE manuals about contents/structures of any files used by SE. As to whether this info (and the CISAM manual, for that matter) should come with SE, My opinion is YES!!, but I do not make the decision to do that (in fact, they don't even ask my opinion). As the .sig indicates, I don't necessarily agree with everything the company I work for does, and the company is kind enough to reciprocate in that sentiment.
