Default Creating an Updated Document IBM Style?

The cause of the accident was, at least in a very great part, attributable
to the failure of the company to keep manuals up to date with updates that
were produced in the manner that you are suggesting.

The cost of reprinting and re-issuing complete manuals would have been an
infinitesimal fraction of the $1,300,000,000.00 that is reported to have
been the Commercial/Industry Cost of the accident.
