The
Design Flow Solutions training manual is a book of over 200
pages detailing all the features of the Design Flow Solutions
software, written in a style consistent with use as a self-study
guide. The training manual is the same book used as the course
material for training classes offered by ABZ. The training manual
is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to the training
classes for those desiring a comprehensive discussion of how
to use the software and how the software works.
