I have hesitated to ask this, but I really need some guidance.

I am working on my first software documentation project. I am at the
beginning of writing the Software Requirements Specification (the
software, of course, was written eons ago), but have scant
information to go by. I would assume that there are some standards
out there. Are there? This is a Bureau of Land Management project,
if that helps.

If this information is archived, please forgive the posting and
direct me to the archives.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Lori,

I remember asking this very question a little more than a year ago, when I was confronted with my very first spec on my very first writing job.

Guess what?  I winged it!

A more helpful answer:  go to the STC home page at http://www.stc-va.org and find their publications menu.  On the publications page you will find a search engine.  Do a search on "specification" and some interesting-looking stuff will come up.

If you have problems downloading the STC publications order form (as I did) simply send them an e-mail asking for the form.  They'll mail it to you pretty quickly.
