Hi folks,
Here's the problem:
So far our product had one manual called "User's Guide" that
came in one
folder. The next release is going to have that folder again, but
now
there'll be an additional folder for various options people can
buy, as
well as technical notes, doc updates and everything else that
may come
up. The question now is, how do I call this thingy?
"Miscellaneous"
would be most honest, but out for obvious reasons. Suggestions
so far
have been "Packages", "Modules" and "Extensions", neither is
very
promising. Any suggestions?
Mike
