	All of the problems you reported (with the possible exception
of the LDR problem - will look at it) have already been reported and
posted in the ZCPR3 Newsletters.  I just sent you copies of the first
5 newsletters ... hope this will help.  There is a lot of data here.

	The route which has been taken in problem reporting and
tracking, namely thru Echelon and the newsletters, has worked out
nicely from my point of view.  I see only one report on each potential
problem (with the exception of my DDN mail) and don't have to respond
to 20 or more questions about the same problem -- the responses are
posted in the newsletters, and the ZCPR3 user community can read them.
Additionally, Echelon, thru its (1) posted address, (2) posted
telephone number, and (3) electronic bulletin board provides a
convenient method of communication which is supplemented greatly by
its newsletter.  I really urge the ZCPR3 community to take advantage
of this service and read the newsletters.

	I will be posting newsletters 6 and 7 soon.  The bug reports
are going down, and more and more newsletter material is oriented
around new products, a review of the ZCPR3 system (highlights of
programs), and other useful tidbits of information.

	I have mentioned several times that the book is coming out ...
take heart, for it really is happening.  I see it mutate time and time
again these days.  For your information, there are two literary
editors working on it (actually, they have finished) and one technical
editor (Chris Terry, formerly of Microsystems).  I feel that Chris'
inputs have really been helpful, and he is currently in control of the
StarIndex copy of the book.  He is reviewing and adding a section on
the auto-installing Z3-DOT-COM to it.  The next pass is to send me the
StarIndex copy for one last review and run thru StarIndex, and then I
will send the final to him for printing and forwarding to the
publisher for typesetting.  We are approx 1 week behind the last
posted schedule right now, but you can see that there is not much left
to do.

	Oh, one last thing, remember that all sources are supplied to
the ZCPR3 System.  The phase 2 release included complete sources to
Z3LIB and VLIB, as well as several new tools, such as VFILER and
VMENU.

Rick - I presume you have made some changes in zcpr3 to correct reported
bugs.  Also, I believe that you have discovered some areas where more
guidance-to-installers would be helpful.  Have you made, or do you plan
to make any corresponding changes in the installation manual available on
simtel20?

     In the "ha ha department", I have decided to try to install zcpr3 on
my Radio Shack Model-I with Omikron Mapper just for the fun of trying.
This is pure foolishness, I think, since the machine has only 48K of 
memory including space for the OS, and the four disk drives hold only 622K
total.  But what the heck...

     Looking forward to reading your book.


Best regards,

Dave

Hi, Dave,

	I haven't made any changes to ZCPR3 itself yet.  The changes just apply
to the toolset.  There are no plans to change the distributed installation
manual since it and the newsletters combine to document the installation
procedures and the anticipated problems associated with installation.
The book has a large section on installation, and I'm trying to make sure
that it is up to date.

Rick
