--------------------------------------------------
You will use ISO 9000-3 for software development.
See STC Technical Communications, 2nd Q 1993 for a
good introduction to ISO. (Page 234)
I best resource I know for help is the National ISO 9000
Support Group. For $150 a year you receive audio tapes,
BBS & Fax back help, newsletter, how to write ISO docs,
information on future ISO releases, etc. Their number is
616/891-9114.
You will find that the 20 requirements of ISO 9001 apply
well to software development.
