Subject:RE: alternative to the word module From:"Bill Swallow" <wswallow -at- nycap -dot- rr -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 22 Apr 2003 19:26:21 -0400
Tasks? I would never in my mind associate a piece of an application with
"task". I might be using an administrator module of an application to
perform a wide variety of tasks, some that I can do in perhaps a user module
as well.
I don't understand why a module can't be a module. What are we trying to
protect the readers from?
