Larry, and the list,

The RAOOS (PAOOS) project is not dead... just resting. There is a group
of 7 developers all working on version two. (Paul I would like to talk
to you about this sometime the first quarter of this year. i.e. when it's
completed and ready to release.)

If you have input or questions feel free to fire them to the list or
directly to myself.

Sincerely,
R.J. Fear

BTW: I do still read my email public, and argus lists. I still have the
same level of desire to be involved with The SETI League. Unfortunetly
my business life has taken a dive which leaves me with little personal
time. Most of my free time is involved managing the RAOOS Project.
