<< the following paraphrase:
"Geoff Hart asked: <<If we do such a great job documenting software,
why are so many people making a good living writing third party "how
to" books? What are they doing right and what are we doing wrong?>>"
We did nothing wrong. Ever hear of software oiracey, or missing manuals
in an office? God bless 'em!
