>Mr. Elston:
>My name is Keith Anderson. I am a technical writer (actually was, I am back
in school finishing up my senior year). I am especially interesting the
subject of one source documentation. When I say "one source" I literally
mean a document which can be used for any and all of the following: hard
copy long and short, Windows help, WWW pages (HTML), and even cross-platform.
>I am doing a senior project on this subject which is due at the end of next
semester. I feel SGML is possibly the way to go but I am not sure. I would
like to see some information about this subject on your page. Even better,
can you put me in contact with some one who specializes in this area?
>I think your page is great and will visit it regularly. I may even have
something to contribute in the near future.
>Thanks
