In case anyone's wondering, "the Siboot project" refers to the game Trust & Betrayal: The Legacy of Siboot, which had the player negotiating with AI agents to gather information needed to win "mind combat" duels:

Sadly, it doesn't seem to have the manual.

Several abandonware websites host the manual but I am not sure if legally, so I won't link to them here. While Chris Crawford used to distribute the "classic" Mac OS version of the game as freeware he has since removed the freeware downloads from his website.
