Fw: Printing manuals

[Ken Kopp-3]

This is how my old MARS manuals were maintained ... worked well.

Downloadable manuals are fine... a good way to stay up to date.
However, it
shouldn't be necessary to download the entire manual every time a change
is
made.  Any change should be in the form of a series of either "added
pages".... or "changed pages"...with each page dated and numbered,
perhaps
with an alpha-numeric system.  A page numbering system should be used
that
allows added or changed pages to be printed and inserted in the user's
manual to keep it up-to-date. Changed pages should indicate the page
number
and date that is being replaced.  This may seem cumbersome, but if well
executed will result in the user being able to maintain an accurate,
constantly updated paper manual.

It is/was common practice with many governmental agencies...and the
master list of changed pages was a real help....you could compare that against
what ya had in the book and curse the person who didn't stuff the pages
correctly.

That type of manual publication would be quite helpful....and kinder to the
trees (g).
