I should add:


    1.  This will take some work on the tester's part to read the digitizer
	manual and build the config file for their digitizer.  We 
	can set it up so that if there are duplications, the successes
	are shared.
    

    2.  This is an advance notice.  We are still finalizing the code
	for distribution and putting together a rudimentary manual
	to aid in building the files.   Should be 2-3 weeks before
	distribution of files.

  Thanks.
