700.0. "Destination for release notes ?" by RTOADC::CAAHANS (Hans Bachner, ADG Munich) Thu Jul 23 1987 07:41

    Which is the preferred destination for release notes ?
    
    As the prod$nnn.release_notes file will be placed in sys$help, it
    really should be readable (i.e. <> LASER). I tried LP, which isn't
    really readable at the terminal; I tried TERMINAL, which works with
    $ TYPE on a terminal, but is not the best to scan through it with
    an editor; I guess it will also not look very good on a LA100/120.
    
    Finally, I tried MAIL, but all what I got was some 20 blank columns
    on the left margin and lots of lines overflowing col. 80 on the
    screen.
    
    Any suggestions / experiences ?
    
    Thank you,
    Hans.

700.1Is there really no solution ?RTOADC::CAAHANSHans Bachner, ADG MunichWed Aug 05 1987 07:171
    How do you write your release notes (RNO ?) ?
700.2I used MAILCLOSET::OTTEThu Aug 13 1987 14:455
    When I did the release notes for VAX DOCUMENT I used the MAIL
    destination.  This gives you a standard ascii text file with no
    escape characters or other funniness.  Hope this helps,
