Also, describe any assumptions % you may be making about the abilities of the user. % (i.e. Does the user need a Ph.D. in Astrophysics % with a Masters in Quantum Mechanics to run your % tool or can a regular bum that thinks computers % are evil use it?) % \section{Introduction} \subsection{Hardware Requirements} \subsection{Software Requirements} % % Include Online help facilities. Describe what each % feature of the system is. Describe fully what % different options/selections will provide to the user. % For instance, describe what each button allows the % user to do. btw, you can change the name of the section % if you like. If there are special languages that the % user must know for input into the system, include % the description of that language here. % \section{Functionality Description} %\input{functional} % % Provide a simple tutorial that includes a % generic scenario for using the system. Provide % screen dumps, etc. Make sure that this tutorial % is representative of the types of operations found in % a typical session. As with the previous section, % you can change the name if you find another more % desireable. % \section{User Scenarios} %\input{scenarios} % % Provide a description of the steps needed to % install the system. This should include any % details not mentioned in the introduction (i.e. % environment setup, etc.) % \section{Installation Procedure} %\input{installation} % % You know the drill % \section{References} % % HINT!!!!: Think about the worst user manual you've % ever encountered. Consider what you didn't like % about it; was it missing something, was it redundant, % was it incorrect? After you've thought about these % characteristics that you found undesireable, write % the document with the intent of not emulating the % worst manual you've ever seen. ^^^ % % % \end{document}
