Date: 29 AUG 1974 1025-PDT
From: TESLER at PARC-MAXC
Subject: hal,he question about SLIDETOP1 in pub pass 2
To: he at SU-AI
PUB is out of synch in its calculations
concerning the centering or right flushing of a text line.
Did the output look OK, esp. with regard to center and right flush
lines?
Were there any error messages earlier (pass 1) like:
LINE TOO LONG, or anyhthing else??
I would like to get rid of bugs like that, so if you give me clues I
will try to do so.

HAL raisers ... I have started to incorporate various files into
MEMO.DOC ... so far I have taken over 4R.DOC ... as I gobble
files, I'll mark them NOT TO BE UPDATED ... please make
corrections in MEMO.DOC which is now declared to be the
`original' ... I am intentionally leaving some of the files
separate (eg. 4RADD.DOC) so everyone won't be trying to edit
the same file at once.
Check the `DETAILED OUTLINE' in MEMO.DOC to see what has
to be done yet ... feel free to comment on the outline.
... also DISCUSS.DOC is available for suggested topics for
Friday morning's meeting

HAL raisers ... There are the following files on [HAL,HE] which
you should be aware of, read, and make additions to:
DISCUS.DOC --- the list of topics to be discussed
MEMO.DOC --- the file where `finished' portions of the
memo should be placed ... under the correct
heading
XMPLES.DOC --- a file containing longer `complete' examples
which hopefully will cover most of the features
of HAL ... employed on "real" problems ...
this is to keep the USER's coding style in mind
Reminders: Please try to tutor everyone on you latest syntax/semantics
The first drafts should be in by Friday
Add you references to the bibliography in MEMO.DOC
SIMILARLY add any problems which we have discussed, but
put off to later generations
