SubjectManual -- offering
I just wanted to say that I offer myself to the task of maintaining a
few versions of the CSound manual.

Unfortunately, though, it will not be possible to maintain every
possible format of the documentation, but I can deal with the following:

ASCII
RTF
PostScript
DVI
HTML
MS-Word

and possibly others, but I think these will suffice (I assume that these
formats are easily convertible, should they not be portable).  My 
machine is a PC, and so RTF is the format coming out of MS-Word 7 and 
ASCII has CR-LF pairs.

Now, should I be appointed to this task, I would like to ask for the
help of others in pointing me to every possible source of information
that would be considered as useful in the manual--particularly as new
features are added or corrections made.  Although I can spare the time
to collate and compile the info, I do not have the opportunity to roam
the web to search for and get miriads of files.

I would ask then that these bits of info should be emailed to me.  I
will take care of the rest.

Also, regarding graphics and figures, I have the appropriate software to
deal with a great variety of formats, so should any be included with the
documentation, there is no foreseeable trouble in converting from one 
format to another.

To sum up:  I will produce the final form of the documentation provided 
any of you fellow CSound users care to send me the diverse and scattered 
bits of information that you think should be included in the main 
manual.

Best!
