Hi, Bob!
The new Manual and Webpage changes you made are terrific. I want to
make sure that none of the links I have in my article will be
disappearing soon as a result of changes, so I thought I 'd send you a
list of them.
My first concern is the DSP-10 command summary pdf file, as while that
is still present on your website, I wasn't sure it was still referenced
from the main page. Even though there have been changes, I still think
it is very helpful for a newcomer. It is at
www.proaxis.com/~boblark/dsp10cmd.pdf
Other links I have referenced are:
http://members.ispwest.com/kd7ts/ver3/Man2.html
http://www.proaxis.com/~boblark/wksig1.htm
Please let me know if you think any of these are going to go away.
Thanks,
Roger Rehr
