[alma-config]compiled list of 'recent' (since 2000march) memos, etc...

Tue Jan 8 11:34:33 EST 2002

all,

al wanted me to compile a list of 'new' (things since around march,
2000) memos and other things related to configuration issues.  please
find appended below this list.  if you have additions or comments,
send them to me, as this list will get merged with the old one on the
web.  note that i could find no reference to a description of john's 
or adrian's current strawman arrays, only the pad positions...
