Subject: How to mention tradenames?
Date: Monday, September 05, 1994 6:53PM
Dear writers,
I have written some technical documentation and make frequent references
to products and company names (like IBM, DOS, WINDOWS, etc.).
Can I do this freely or do I have to list all these names and state
that they are tradenames? Is there a standard phrase/procedure for this
purpose?
Thanks in advance for your kind help!
Herman.
