The English manual is a word for word translation of the original German
manual.  There was a major revision to the English version in 1991
because some of the translations were done a little bit too verbatim, and
things like "replace with a known good unit for testing" became "replace"
in the English version. 

There is a Bentley copy of the manual now, which is quirky and a PITA to
use, and there is an unofficial copy of the fiche in PDF.  It was up at
an ftp site somewhere, if you have a site it can be uploaded to, let me
know via private e-mail.
