I will be the first to admit that I should have included more information with the message than I did. But I am very frustrated. I've been working with computers for over 40 years ( Yes they go back that far), Have 15 years experience with Debian linux, have a degree in mathematics and physics and spent the last 5 years of my work carrier as a computer programmer. I also spent a good percentage of my carrier tech writing and I find the quality of documentation in the linux world sub-standard. I will admit that writing good documentation is hard but it is also absolutely necessary. If you want a real eye opener, do what I used to do, find a computer knowledgeable person (secretary, wife) that knows nothing about your program, hand it to them and sit back and take notes. Rewrite the documentation until there are no more questions. Check with the reply to Arnold Krille's message for more substantive information.
