- That doesn't mean that they are still any good. I am not a programmer but
- had
- once written the manual for a module of software by Holiday Inns -
- Worldwide Inc. The problem was although we tried to write as user friendly
- as possible, our initial draft was killed outright. 1) Most companies have
- a fixed format
- fot the manual which was originally fixed by some programmer and they want
- us
- to stick to in - even if it's stupid. 2) Not to much time is schedualled
- for
- hands on time to actually learn ALL of the software but the doc specialist
- so the end up listening to the programmer or using the programmers notes.
