RE: On-Line Vs. Print, Single-Sourcing, and how to ignore the obvious

["Rebecca Downey" <rdowney -at- matrox -dot- com>]

Good morning.

Welcome back Andrew. I missed your acerbic wit.

I would like to know *what* are the differences between On-Line and print
documentation in your humble opinion.

So far you've only mentioned one set:
> Personally, I prefer to get the "Here is exactly

> help. I look to a printed manual for theoretical and
> conceptual background.

Are there others in your opinion?
Should information overlap between the two (print and on-line) when written
for the same product?
