As frequently stated, primary purpose of Eric's “Tech. Reports” was not merely 
to grant Eric 
a decent documentation – though this excellent product well deserved it – 
but to offer an example, a model of my vision of how tech doc.s should be and, 
alas, 
usually still isn't.  That is:  – Written from Mr. User's point of view (not 
Mr. Producer's);  – Based on facts (not tales);  – Fair and free to report also 
encountered oddities and problems;  – With respect for all, but mainly for 
proved and actual facts, and professional experience;  – All that to the real 
interest of all involved parties, but no subjection to anyone.- 
Now, being through(*), I'd be glad to know such model had some sequel. So long. 
 - P.M.  (*)  Dear D., I'll miss our discussions.
