Subject:Ever see this word used this way? From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"List, Techwriter" <TECHWR-L -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 9 Dec 1999 07:19:14 -0800 (PST)
I'm reading a document (System Design Specification)
that I'm updating and I came across this sentence:
"The processes described in the FRS* must be
decomposed into software products, which run on the
target hardware."
Aside from some issues I have with the general
wording, anyone ever see the word "decomposed" used
this way?
I've never seen it used this way, but what do I know?
