My Farsi is terrible to non existant, but I can't actually see the
Manual on the sesawe site - if you go to the section on the english
site where it can be found (right column portal) it has the headings
Manuals and Tools. If you go to the equivalent, left column portal, in
the farsi version of th esite, the Manuals section is empty and the
Manuals heading redirects back to the main sesawe site/

Am I missing something simple here?

Also, there seems to be a lot of crossed wires happening with two
cnoversations in the one thread - maybe the Chinese censorship issue
could move to its own thread?

cheers
