Unfortunately, yes. OTOH, if you installed a chess playing program,
would you expect it to teach you how to play?
If you brought a tractor, would you expect instructions on how to grow
corn?
In the past I have struck some software which has very good
documentation; a bit too good -- separating the wheat from the chaff has
mean't having a good knowledge about the subject area BEFORE expecting
to understand the software.
I have also struck software where it seems as if everything is just
dumped on your HDD and you are expected to "sort it out" yourself. :(
IOW, it is not unusual to have to scour the Internet figuring out what
to do with it once it is installed. You may have to look elsewhere for
information regarding the subject area which the software encompasses.
