Since setting up a document like this can be time consuming, I have made my standards manual publicly available for free downloading. Of course there may be some ideas in here that some people might not agree with, feel free to modify the document to suit your taste. It can be downloaded at http://www.fast4gl.com/ under the "Downloads", "Documents and Information" section.
This document does not attempt to address every possible issue because our experience has shown us that the longer the standard is the less compliance there is. We don't expect everyone to agree with the standards outlined here. However, these are the standards and guidelines that come from years of experience and should not be deviated from, except under special situations.
No document of this nature should ever be written in a vacuum. We would encourage you let us know of any omissions and weak spots that we can make the necessary changes and help others get off to a good start in their Progress applications.
