RE: DOE Tech Docs manual (was: Help on Procedure Writing)

[MMcCallister -at- ontrack -dot- com]

Back on Wednesday, John Fleming pointed a would-be colleague in this direction:

"One publication out there you may find useful for procedure writing is "DOE 
Statndard Writer's Guide for Technical Procedures (DOE-STD-1092-92)".  It's 
produced by the US Department of Energy and may be available on their web 
site.

"While not the most recent publication on the planet, it is the most 
extensive one I have ever come across on the subject.  (Wish I could 
remember the name of the person on this list-serve who originally tipped us 
off on the existence of this publication.)"

For everyone's reference, a Google search did indeed locate a PDF version of this doc (revised in 1998, so perhaps not as dated as John thinks):
