As everyone is well aware, one of the biggest problems associated with
any computer program, including expert systems, is how should they be 
documented.

I am currently working on one method of documentation which includes using 
a hypertext software package (GUIDE 3, by Owl International), for my current 
expert system.  This is being completed as a special topic in regards
to my Graduate Work at the University of Akron.

I have a few ideas of the kind of information, should be included.
I would like to hear from others, who have developed expert systems, in 
regards to what kind of documentation efforts were considered, if any.
Also, if any one has ideas of information that should be included/excluded.  
Also interested in any examples of good/bad documentation efforts.  Any 
references to books, articles or papers associated with this topic???  
Any and all comments are welcome.

Please send e-mail to R3RFS@VM1.CC.UAKRON.EDU or reply here,  I am sure
that others are interested in this also.
