Ok, everyone, this is just to fill in what's happening in terms of my
schedule of stuff. I post this jsut so everyone can know what is falling
where.

Release of NERPS: ShadowLore April 15-20
Start of next NERPS projects April 20th
Rewriting of list FAQs
Release of version 2.0 of the Geek Code
Release of NERPS: Who? What? Where? (no proofing phase) Late May
vorlon.mankato.msus.edu brought online (my own machine) Mid June

Also note that there will be a phase in there, most likely, where I will
be out of town for two weeks and will be netless. I anticipate this to
happen in late May, but perhaps not until June.

I've been fighting a cold for the last few days and haven't had a chance
to deal with NERPS at all. I hope that by tomorrow my head has cleared
out enough that I can work in the lab and get ShadowLore out the door by
Friday.

Assuming I get it out the door by Friday (Monday at the VERY latest,
baring death . . . MY death), it will be available at teetot, most likely
in ../Shadowrun/NERPS. It will be available in a ZIP file in both
PostScript and RTF formats. At that time, an announcement will also be
going out worldwide singing praises of it's release.

I hope to get a P.O. box this week that I can use as a permanent address
for people to order the NERPS books from. This is because, since I live
in a dorm, I'll be moving for the summer, and then moving again next
fall, and I'm sure my father doens't want to deal with a bunch of mail
addressed to me that he just has to forward.

In any case, of you have any questions, shoot.

Nice, nice. can you post it to a "local" european node, since a
downloading from a "non-european" node is like a strain (sometimes
does not even happen). If you need somebody overhere, i can
volunteer. 8)

Well, I think it's quite a bit of hassle to establish a NERPS mirror.
The reason is that I anticipate that ther might be a bug-fix or three of
ShadowLore to correct things like spelling and the like and trying to
keep track of more than one site is a pain.

I think that after the initial flurry of getting, NERPS traffic will die
out and dispite the link over the pong, the net will not come to its knees.
