Hi Raylene,    (01)

I am currently trying to locate detailed technical information about the 
Augment file structure.    (02)

I'm already working on a few different paths, but Eugene mentioned to me 
that you might be able to help as well. Do you have any documentation 
that would give reasonably accurate information of the most recent 
implementation of the Augment file structure (the one used on Doug's 
current system)? I am not sure how much it has changed over the years.    (03)

This is what I have so far:    (04)

  * About 20 pages of notes that Jeff Rulifson has given to me (scanned 
PDF file), which describe the "AHI data structure", so I'm guessing the 
notes are from around 1968 or so (no date on the notes).    (05)

  * I've started reading through the L10 code itself, since of course 
that will give me the most accurate description of the data structure.    (06)

If you are very familiar with that piece of code, perhaps you could help 
walk me through some of it to speed up the process of my understanding. 
I've gotten a good amount of the file structure figured out so far, but 
still not quite there on some of the details.    (07)

Thanks for any help you can give.    (08)
