RE: New TECHWR-L Poll Question

[Paul Hanson <PHanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com>]

This goes in cycles for me. 

We are getting ready to send an update out on 8/24 so I am making a lot of
changes to my .hlp files and the stress is higher than normal. 

After the 8/24 release, things will calm down a bit before we get ready for
another update at the end of September. We are continuously sending out
PTFs. No help changes are distributed with those. Our PTFs have,
temporarily, changed from being a fix to get the client up and running into
including new functionality for a hot client - - I know, I know, don't start
with me re: this - - just had a long discussion w/ my manager on Friday re:
how <deletion of adjectives> not in our best interest releasing PTFs with
new functionality is. If PTFs included help changes,then life would be
*very* stressful and that idea hasn't crossed anyone's mind . . . yet. So
far, it is acceptable to only distribute updated .hlp files with releases.
