Subject:Documentation standards for external vendors From:Alan Yelvington <alany -at- TEKIG5 -dot- PEN -dot- TEK -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 19 Jan 1994 15:33:13 PST
I am looking for any guidelines that a company may have
set for documents produced by outside vendors.
For example: If someone is writing a manual for your
product, what are the elements you are critical on?
Safety, illustrations, translation, typesetting, registration,
etc.
Please drop me a note if you have had to deal with this
before.
