Exactly. The question is where's TFM today ? Doxigen is not TFM. The examples are not TFM. The comments are not TFM. The video posted on Youtube is not TFM. The blog is not TFM. I want TFM or at least TF Man Pages.

I hope that Amazon, in case of repeated violations, will take down the sellers, giving the information to right enforcement organizations. If changing the ASIN is enough to continue, no surprise if it becomes the counterfeiter heaven. This
