- Well, progress is assured here. I have increased my team from 1 to 6
- and the response has been good. I now have 3 people working o the
- firmware, 3 people working on the user manual proofreaduing, and I am
- writing it also.
-
- Please note the product is called PGSI, not the PGSA II, and that it
- IS a product, not a project kit, although a kit form will be offered
- at a reduced price. Many have asked if I will send tem schematics and
- firmware for manufacture, which is not possible at this time.
-
- I have put a VERY preliminary copy of the PGSI docuentation/user
- manual at KARAZM.MATH.UH.EDU in pub/Incoming/VR. I have once again
- forgot who to ask to move it to pub/VR, so f he or she is listening, I
- am trying to find your name to ask you to get rid of pgsa.doc and
- replace it with pgsi_1.zip and pgsi_1p.zip. Also, if someone else
- knows who to call, could you please relay the info?
-
- pgsi_1.zip is the Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0 document.
-
- pgsi_1p.zip is the Postscript verion of the document. (I hope)
-
- please email any additions,correcions, suggestions or anything else to
- me, and I will correct them. I will also accept pictures in any
- format to put in the document. Note that this document will serve as
- the user manual as well as the programmers manual. Please enjoy and
- tell me what I need to change. You all all my secondary proofreaders.
- Just be patient and print this out. I will also mail out copy of the
- documentation if you send me a SASE manilla envelope with enough
- postage for 44 pages of paper 20 pound bond. Send to:

-
- Enjoy. I will be finishing the manual this week and next, so please
- note this if you are sending me a SASE.
-
- The rest is going forward, so I will post again when something pops up.
