Re: Frame Templates designed for screen shots? Anyone?

[John Posada <jposada01 -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

Theree is a book called "Read Me First; A Style Guide
for the Computer Industry.", by Sun Technical
Publications.

Besides being a great style guide, it comes with a
CDROM packed with Frame Templates. These appear to be
the same templates that they use for their
documentation, and since I'd guess that Sun handles
alot of software, they might have something you like.

However, even without the templates, it's still a
required addition to youir library.
