Referencing user guide

Question

Can someone help me to reference this user guide in LaTeX? I'm searching for a tutorial of how to reference a user guide, but can't find one. Does it fall in the category of article?

MIT Java Wordnet Interface (JWI)
User’s Guide
Version 2.2.x
Mark A. Finlayson
(markaf@alum.mit.edu)
November 16, 2011

The bibliography is set by BibTeX with the style plainnat (requires natbib)

I've used TexStudio to generate the citation. It was generated as MIT Java Wordnet Interface (JWI) Users Guide. using the code below:

@manual{jwimit,
ALTauthor = {Mark A. Finlayson},
title = {MIT Java Wordnet Interface (JWI) User’s Guide},
date = {November 16, 2011},
OPTlanguage = {English},
OPTversion = {Version 2.2.x},
OPTorganization = {MIT},
OPTpagetotal = {10},
OPTpubstate = {November 16, 2011},
}

one suggestion off the top of my head: e-mail the author if you can't google it — Count Zero, Mar 30 '13 at 18:38
I googled it even on scholar, was hoping to find an the bibtex export, thats how i do but did not got it, does it fall in category of article?? — Noor, Mar 30 '13 at 19:02
Which bibliography style do you use? Or do you use biblatex? biblatex provided the entry type manual — Marco Daniel, Mar 30 '13 at 19:08
Organise bibliography with web and Desktop tools. Sometimes for rare references, type bibtex fields manually using any latex editor. I use TeXmaker for this purpose. — texenthusiast, Mar 30 '13 at 20:51
I've updated the question with a sample of how it was generated. But, there is no author attached with the citation, is it normal?? — Noor, Mar 31 '13 at 14:37
There is no entry ALTauthor or OPT.... Remove the prefixes ALT and OPT and it will work. — Marco Daniel, Mar 31 '13 at 14:48
Right ok, its appearing like this now "Mark A. Finlayson. MIT Java Wordnet Interface (JWI) Users Guide. MIT.", I think it should be ok — Noor, Mar 31 '13 at 15:55

Ok, with the help of the comments above, this solution was obtained:

@manual{jwimit,
author = {Mark A. Finlayson},
title = {MIT Java Wordnet Interface (JWI) User’s Guide},
date = {November 16, 2011},
language = {English},
version = {Version 2.2.x},
organization = {MIT},
pagetotal = {10},
