Documentation is "things written about something". The warranty, the help files, the book that comes with it, the instructions scribble onto the box by the salesman or your mum are documentation. Although some of these are outside the control of the UA developer. my 2 cents worth Charles On Mon, 1 Mar 1999, Kitch Barnicle wrote: Hi, I've been doing more thinking about the documentation issue. I'd just like to clarify what we mean when we talk about documentation. Since many user agents don't come with manuals, I had been assuming that documentation includes an application's built-in help system as well as any print materials that may accompany a product. Is that a safe assumption? Does the term documentation only apply to manuals? What about context sensitive help? Should the help system and any "manuals" be treated separately in regards to checkpoints for accessibility?
