Re: AS/400 Tech Writing

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

I'm presuming you're talking about writing technical documentation about
some other functions/processes/products and you want to do it on the 400
using 400 based software:

First question:  WHY!?  Office Visionless is dead and there's really no
replacement.

IFF your data has to reside on the 400, I'd seriousely suggest you use the
IFS/DLO areas and put Word or Wordperfect on someone's desktop with a
mapped drive to some place on your 400....you could even use freeware
that's really almost as good as M$ Office suite out at
http://www.openoffice.org/ - I've got my kids whole school using OO on a
linux/ltsp net and they love it!
