- There are really four questions:
-
- 1. How do we seperate words?
- 2. How do we save disk space?
- 3. How do we save typist hassle?
- 4. How do we make our printed output look nice?
-
- I claim we ought, on this list, to address only 1. The others belong on
- the operating system, disk management, word processing, and desktop
- publishing lists. From the perspective of question one alone, the answer
- is obvious, with a blank. And just a blank (or two). And that is what
- TRL documents. If your OS has let considerations leak from questions 2-4
- into question 1, that is a fault in the design of that system. Nothing
- on this planet is perfect, least of all mis-designed operating systems.
