Re: Re: Validation Protocol for Users Guide

That's what they usually do for validation, but this time they were told to check all of the steps in the manual.  If they don't approve the manual by the end of this month, there won't be a manual ready by the time of system release.  So the release date would have to be delayed.  That is not a good thing.
