Yes, diagrams would be nice. You can draw reasonably complex diagrams using pic(1) which is a standard part of FreeBSD these days. LaTeX also now supports some powerful graphics handling macro packages. nik> Can you scan these doodles in, and send me a GIF file? IMHO, a more device independent format (Encapsulated Postscript? LaTeX? FIG?) would be a better idea. GIFs are mostly ok on the screen, but they don't generally render well on the printed page. We can convert from these device independent formats to GIF (PNG) or PDF depending on whether we are creating browsable or printable documentation.
