Subject:Understanding the things you document From:Jonathan Soukup <jsoukup -at- GTE -dot- NET> Date:Tue, 6 Jul 1999 22:27:41 -0500

some level how the device or program worked. I'm getting the picture at my
new job that understanding the program is secondary to producing the
documentation. Do other writers face this same challenge?
