Hello.
We're doing the same kind of work here in my office. Would you mind
posting, in summary, your results or email me off-list.
Thanks,

Hello all,
Could anyone point me to a web page or other source where I might find
specific
definitions of "user manual", "reference manual", "online help",
"training
manual", "tutorial", etc.? We are working on a style guide for our
company
and
would like to differentiate between various types of documentation. Any
help
would be appreciated. Thanks very much!
