When developing Visual Basic apps, and working with the Help Compiler,
the book that comes with it all actually talks about the various members
of the "team"; that the programmers and documentation writers have to work
together....
I sure see what they mean.  I have a VB app that continues to grow, then
I stop for a few days and write some documentation, then go back to
coding, etc.  Trouble is, as the book says, *I*, as a programmer, won't
ever be able to do justice to the documentation...
