"An easy-to-follow guidebook for all computer users, professional and nonprofessional. Documentation Manual substitutes a simple narrative approach for the elaborate and often confusing mystique of computer terminology. Wherever possible, nontechnical language is used; all terms are simply defined, and sample documented appications at the end of each section make it easy for the reader to visualize the process being described. The text includes samples of system and program flowcharts that use American National Standards Institute standard flowchart symbols. There is also an EDP glossary and file nomenclature. Developed as a main text for college-level computer science courses and for junior college data processing courses"--Page 4 of cover.
