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.
The last time I encountered Folio Views was as a supplement to the
Comdex program three or four years ago. At that time it still had a
DOS-based interface.
Well, no, that was the second last time. Yesterday I walked by a
co-workers office and saw that same ugly interface. Since she is one of
our sys admins, I guess she was consulting the online Novell documents
which have used Folio Views for more than a decade.
IMNSHO, don't use it unless your users all have glass TTYs (teletypes or
green screens).
