Oh, they weren't very exciting. And there's nothing that keeps me from listing them in a public place, except my memory. {grin}
Stuff like (titles approximate):
- Tektronix 8002 Microprocessor Development Lab User's Guide
- Tektronix 8560 User's Manual
- Sequent System User Manual
- Tandem System C2 Security Administration Guide
- Intel 80960XA Processor Architecture Manual
- and a lot more that I'm forgetting right now...
Yeah, mundane stuff, for the salaries I drew at Tektronix and Sequent, and on contracts to Tandem and Intel/BiiN. The Tek and Tandem gigs were the best, because I learned the techwriting biz and structures under the watchful eyes of a legend
in the industry, Lyle Settle. That's the "Lyle" in the dedication in the Llama preface. The "Jack" there is Jack Falk, a superb techeditor at Tek, and the guy who taught me to write like I talk.
