TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
There are approximately 3,417,389 posts regarding style guides in the
TECHWR-L archives, which should be enough to make ANYBODY run away
screaming.
So I'll simplify.
For your purposes, try the "Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical
Publications."
Another useful alternative is "Read Me First! A Style Guide for the
Computer Industry," published by Sun.
Good luck, and get ready to be deluged by suggestions to CTA (check the
archives)!
