FYI:

I will be posting the most recent revision of the RT-Linux Manual (project)
on my personal web pages until we have a real home for it.  If you
submitted documents and are curious to see if they made into the manual, if
you are thinking of making some contributions, or if you are just plain
curious please check it out.

http://people.qualcomm.com/btwallac/projects/RTLManual/RTLManual.html

If you don't see you contributions please be patient, and make sure that
Olga Mill has received them via the anonymous FTP site:

		turing.sirti.org/pub/rt_manual/uploads

And please consider that submissions in *.sgml format will get first
priority (as they are the easiest to incorporate into the manual), other
format make take longer depending on time required to convert (although we
shall do our best).

The complete documentation package including *.html, *.ps, and build system
should be available via the FTP site in /pub/rt_manual/upload/release

The easiest way for us to accept submissions is if you submit them as one
of the existing chapters or sections, or as a new chapter or section, and
identify those as well as your name and date at the beginning of the file.
Anyone is always welcome to get a recent copy of an existing chapter,
update it, fix it, or just make it better, and resubmit it at any time.

There is still a lot of work to do, and I have run across several problems
with my SGML tools already. I.e., conversion of tables to HTML doesn't work
correctly, including pictures doesn't convert to HTML correctly, Conversion
to PS includes some funky characters around special characters which
shouldn't be there, etc.  I expect we will run into more.  

At any rate those people who Olga assigned to be editors (or Publishers I
can't remember) should get the release, and send me some e-mail so we can
start spreading the work around.  Some of my solutions to the problems
facing us may be rather sloppy or remedial in which case I would hope
someone would "steer me in the right direction" (without being a back seat
driver of course).
