Subject: Mac Lab Software
Date: Thursday, October 21, 1993 9:56AM
Being new to Internet, this is my first attempt at sending a message, so
please bear with me.
We are in the process of developing an update plan for our Mac Lab,
which is for use by our TC students. We are well on our way in defining
what new hardware we would like, but my concern is that we also address
software issues. I teach courses covering user manuals and want to be
sure that the software our students use reflect what they will be using
when they graduate.
Therefore, I am interested in what software is being used out there for
manuals. Or, another approach would be: If you were designing the ideal
system for manual preparation and production, what software would you
like to have?
You can post your responses on the list or directly to me at:

Thanks for your help.
