6 - Easing Technical SupportThe help file includes the program name displayed in large characters, as well as compile time and version information. You should also add a copyright, identifying your company and year written. Version and compile date is extremely important for technical support. For example, you could find a bug in version 1.0, and quickly fix it and release version 1.1. Without version information the customer can view, no one will know for sure that the next bug report isn't the same bug or a different one (such as the bug not completely fixed). For technical support, this information is mandatory.To wrap up the help/about box, just a few thoughts about help information:
If you are unable to do the documentation
yourself, consider hiring someone to do it,
but under no circumstances should you reduce
or avoid this important part of your product.
