New user guide for Jabp4 & JabpLite4

I’ve been feeling guilty that the user guide which is included in the distribution zips hasn’t been updated since 2011. A lot has changed with both programs since that time. So I am working on a new user guide which is available online as a Google Docs document. I’m still tweaking the content but in the meantime you can view the new user guide here. I’ll also put a link in the Downloads section for easy reference.

I hope this new guide is useful, feel free to contact me if anything isn’t clear.
