Yes, they probably would!  Why don't you try sending Volkswagon an 
e-mail and ask them to re-write the manual for one of their cars... I'm 
sure they will be happy to do that for you (Ha!).

There are books out for virtually any product (yes, we need a "LanBox 
for Dummies" I guess), since many devices, software, etc. can benefit by 
a user-written perspective to things rather than an engineers.  That is 
what we are all saying, and even what Fokko agrees with.  What he is 
saying is that if someone out there rights a great book about using the 
LanBox and LCedit+, he'd even be happy to help promote it.

Manuals are very frustrating in general for any type of device - 
especially ones built in another country.  I can barely understand how 
to set the time on my alarm clock by reading the manual.
