Menno, I don't know what I was thinking of when I wrote down the order  
of speakers. I've revised the list again:

> a1: right front	0 degrees
> a2: left front	90 degrees
> a3: left rear	180 degrees
> a4: right rear	270 degrees

Sorry for this confusion.

-Lou

Hi Lou,

sorry for the late reply - as it turns out to be a busy time for me.
it's a good idea to include a separate instrument that shows the use of the
quad use of locsig alone, without his friend locsend.
i will include 2 different examples - with locsend and locsig alone - as
examples in the manual.

thanks,
menno
