But after a few good pointers, and a couple of good threads, the project never took shape. Yesterday I kinda threw myself into this project, as a mini-book or article containing information to help the Windows user, the Linux, and *NIX user all togeather began to take shape. Various information lays spread throught the handbook and the site, where, if it was bundled togeather, would make perfect reading materal for any converter. It is, however, a large project, and I have nothing started yet other than ideas, and 3 prs which I wish to take care of first. I should be able to present upon the group, in about 2 weeks time, at least a draft of my work, which will include these three main classes of information. If anyone wishes to make comments, suggestions, or contribute to this project, please inform me! Thanks alot to any and all who read this :) --Tom Rhodes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
