Simon - thanks for the specific pointer.
I think the "20 part" procedure is a little silly. Also, we don't
have 20 people to check each part.
Jim, maybe split the manual up into sections of 40-50 pages each
(depending upon where the logical splits are) and just assign everyone
one section.
If someone is game for two, they can double-check another seciton.
And if we have extra people, we should use that resource to try and
get >1 person to read a section. With all the patches/updates lately,
it is possible for odd errors to creep in (repetion, etc).
I will reply to the ones who responded that they know C and then
bounce their letters to this list.
