TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

NO KIDDING: Have You Thanked TECHWR-L Sponsors Lately?
If you haven't taken time lately to drop a
quick email message to TECHWR-L sponsors, you
should. Without the support of TECHWR-L sponsors
and advertisers, TECHWR-L would not be able to
provide this wide range of original content and
valuable services to the technical communication
community.
Take five minutes--or less, if you hurry--
to visit a TECHWR-L sponsor and drop them
a quick email thanking them for helping make
TECHWR-L available to you. Please include a cc:
to ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com when you do.
If you know of other companies or organizations
who might be interested in supporting the technical
communication community through TECHWR-L sponsorship,
point them to http://www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/sponsorships.html
Pathagoras(tm) -- a collection of 3 distinct add-in systems
which make \'processing words\' in Microsoft Word97, 2000 and XP a
less challenging task. Its features include:
(1) improved disk navigation over other methods
(including the ability to directly jump from one directory to
the next without the traditional \'up, down and across\'
technique),
(2) extensive enhancements for saving new or existing documents,
and
(3) simple and intuitive document assembly capabilities using a
unique and cleverly designed checkbox screen (from which the
operator can insert, assemble or open the selected documents.
A well documented and easy to navigate web site describes the
features in great detail. http://www.pathagoras.com
