Subject:Syntax question: Windows 95/98 or 95 and 98? From:Melissa Kucbel-Saumier <melissaks -at- EICON -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 2 Aug 1999 10:02:39 -0400
Hello,
I searched the archives and had a look at Ms Manual of Style (3rd
edition), but I couldn't find anything about an "official" syntax
when referring to both operating systems. I have many procedures
where I have to include "In Windows NT, do this and this. In
Windows 95 and 98 (or 95/98), do this."
What is recommended usage (or how would users better respond to/
understand the procedures)?
Thanks a bunch!
