In a new tech writing position (though not a new field--12+years of
experience), I'm confronted with what looks like a mish-mash of
regulations & approaches. Some of the doc set I'm saddled with seems to
correspond to MIL-STD-498, other titles seem to conform to IEEE 12207.
Seems that my research indicates that 498's obsolete, having been
superceded by 12207.
Anyone have any ideas/experience/references for me? Short topic is that
I'm trying to bring the doc set into the 21st century and leave the 1970s
behind....
