Re: Drop term "user's guide"?

[Felice Albala <felice_albala -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Same thing: 
XYZ Guide
XYZ Installation Guide
XYZ Admin Guide

I guess it all depends on how the client's product is
used and whether or not it's stand-alone or
integrated. Unless the client has another suggestion,
I tend to opt for the simplest solution.

... until they want to integrate your product with
theirs and they need 
a developer's guide. Or they want to run your service
behind their 
firewall and they need an installation guide and an
administration guide.

In other words, if you drop the audience qualifier,
what do you call 
multiple guides for the same product?
