Is there a manual for Avernum 1?

In the downloaded manuals folder there is no manual for Avernum 1


On the Spiderweb game page for Avernum 1 they mention a hints book
but I can find no download facility for it on the Spiderweb site or here
Where is the hints book?
There is no PDF manual for the first Avernum, it uses a Help file instead (see attached pic).

I finally gave up attempting to find the Avernum 1 Manual in another format and just did it myself.

Here are3 URLs for the 3 formats I created.

A PDF formatted file:

Avernum-Manual.pdf

And the html formatted file (extract to it's own folder):

AVERNUM-Manual-HTML.zip

A zip file with the manual in Compiled HTML Help format for windows (.chm)

Avernum-Manual.zip

Thanks for the .PDF!

And the html formatted file:

AVERNUM-MANUAL.html

A zip file with the manual in Compiled HTML Help format for windows (.chm)

Avernum-Manual.zip
But I didn't know how to run these files.

Viewing Downloaded CHM Files

To unblock the CHM file, right click on the file, select "Properties". Click on the "Unblock" button, then click "OK".
You should now be able to view the CHM file.

The chm file offers some limited navigation over the PDF.

Apparently Google Drive has changed some functionality since the HTML file was first setup. I have changed this to a .zip file that you can select and then download.

Thank you very much.
I've added this to the list of missing manuals:

EDIT:
Never mind. H3PC4T made a copy of the second one:
