Subject:Help: 'Computer Operators Manual' or 'User Guide' From:Mark Jordan <mjordan -at- TSSC -dot- CO -dot- NZ> Date:Mon, 26 Jan 1998 13:59:43 +1300
Greetings everyone,
Is there any understood difference in the content of a document entitled
'Computer Operators Manual' and a 'User Guide'.
More specifically I would like to know if there is a pre-conceived standard
understanding of the type of content that each of these should have or the
type of audience that they should be tergetted for.
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Mark
