Oops.  (sigh)

Responsibilities will include whitebox testing of a number of 
applications running on Windows and MacOS 9, in both VC++ and 
CodeWarrior 6 environments, as well as writing up both end-user 
documentation and more technical documentation for future programmers.  
C++ skills are essential.  Familiarity with MFC is a big plus, as is 
technical writing skill.  Ability to get into sketchily documented code 
and fix bugs/clean up cruft would be nice, but not totally essential.

Group InfoTech creates software for the document conversion and 
prepress industries (hence the MacOS connection.)  Here, "document 
conversion" = taking scanned images and either turning them into PDFs 
or OCRing them, fixing all the OCR mistakes, and exporting them into a 
variety of formats (RTF, HTML, a couple of XML formats.)  "Prepress" = 
taking customer-supplied images and text and using Quark+Photoshop+a 
big honking database to get the page layout and colors right, then 
running them off on high-quality printers to make sure everything will 
work out exactly right when the document is sent to a real print shop.

Again, if this sounds interesting, send a resumé to Mark Lowenthal, 
mark@groupinfo.com .
