Subject:Documenting software From:Katherin King <kking -at- BROOKTROUT -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 30 Jun 1998 15:42:55 -0400
For those of you who document software applications, how much of what
you do is documenting the GUI and how much of it is documenting the
underlying structure, the means by which the GUI is implemented? In
other words, how important is it, do you think, for tech writers to
understand the inner workings of the software?
