How many hours for a page?
=========================
I just offered a client to write a handboook about their products
and convert it to WinHelp. The information available is in print
or WP and it should be rewritten from 'the ground up'. It's about
2400 pages. I did an offer based on 8-10 pages a day assuming
that the information in the materials available is correct and
complete and that it has to be restructured and rewritten.
