[R-390] Additional Y2K Manual update info

[Perry Sandeen]

Happy New Year to the List,

      Here’s an update on the Y2K manual Project.

I have the entire manual done except for the adding of pictures.  Al is sending me the files on a
CD and I will get them installed hopefully by Jan. 15th.

The tentative title is Y2K-R3 Beta.  It will be posted on Al’s web site for all to peruse, make
suggestions and corrections.  One new chapter will be Scott Scheickel’s gear rebuilding pictures
and data. Some other chapters may be added as feedback is received.  One change is that this is
not going to be a searchable PDF manual unless someone else does it.  My reasons are that it makes
for larger files, is IMHO of marginal value, and I don’t know how to do it.  Many forget Edison’s
comment:  It is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.  There is considerable heavy
lifting involved.

When the vast majority of errors are corrected (it’s never "finished") It will be re-posted on
Al’s site.  It will be both in Word 95 and Acrobat 5 PDF as one large file.

 I will also break it down into as many 10 Mbyte files for those of us who have dial-up.  I will
mail a CD with all the finished files, plus the entire 5 year mailing list edited files, and other
miscellaneous R390A downloaded data that I can fit on the CD for $5 including postage.  I will
print the manual ONLY on a duplex B/W laser printer and mail for $10.  Get both for $12. DO NOT
SEND ME ANY MONEY UNTIL REQUESTED!!.  

I have all the previous e-mail requests saved and will contact everyone off list. 

Regards, Perrier
