Subject:What are white papers? From:"USA::SOM24502" <SOM24502%USA -dot- decnet -at- USAV01 -dot- GLAXO -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 8 Sep 1994 11:29:00 EDT
Greetings Fellow Tech Writers:
I would appreciate any information you could give me on "white papers."
Are they marketing documents? Is the tone supposed to be scientific or
conversational? How long are they? Who reads them?
Thanks in advance,
