Subject:Need help with Windows 95 terminology From:Beth Baxter <bethb -at- MCSDALLAS -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 27 Jun 1996 14:26:35 GMT
Hi everybody,
I'm documenting an application that uses a hierarchy of directories similar to
Windows Explorer. Okay, exactly like Windows Explorer.
My problem is that I can't exactly call this hierarchy <application name>
explorer. That would be stepping on the big man's toes and would most likely
get my company in a legal battle. I don't really want to call it the
<application name> hierarchy either, although that's what it is.
I know you're all a clever bunch, does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions you offer.
