643.0. "REPORT.TWOCOLS incorrect in Table 1.?" by CASEE::CLARK (Ward Clark) Mon Jul 13 1987 05:36

    I just happened to spellout a document type in full from the "VAX
    DOCUMENT Doctypes" table in the field test User Manual, Volume 1.
    I discovered that the documented "REPORT.TWOCOLS" should actually be
    spelled "REPORT.TWOCOL".

    I started to include the table number, but then noticed that the manual
    includes two tables numbered "1-2" and no table numbered "1-1".

643.1documentation bug--fixed for v1.0CLOSET::OTTEMon Jul 13 1987 11:185
    Spelling out doctyes in full, eh--sounds like you were bug-hunting
    Ward.   Both are errors in the documentation and will be fixed in
    the v1.0 book---thanks for the report.

    RE: bug-hunting

    When all my midnight projects are completed, I'll shift into bug-hunting
    mode.  That should be sometime in the next century.

    This bug was found when I setup a doctype default for my newly-created
    XDOCUMENT tool.  Rather than typing file-specs and abbreviations for
    doctype and destination, XDOCUMENT defaults all three to "reasonable"
    (subjective) defaults.
