    For a couple of years now we've had a proposal to create what some of
    us UK-Edu (ooops - LS) types refer to as a 'Generic Gucko', i.e. a
    non-language specific version of the Utilizing OpenVMS Features course.
    
    (If this isn't proof of the cyclic nature of the universe, I don't
    know what is...)
    
    Anyway, this has never been funded and (surprise, surprise!) isn't funded
    again this year.
    
    Keith Shone, with typical British fortitude, has gone ahead and created such
    a course anyway. It's in Powerpoint (with some Word bits).
    
    I'm considering adopting this as the 'Corporate' standard course and
    retiring all the language-specific versions.
    
    The files are available for review in:

    9772SYNC.PPT;1      READ-ME.1ST;1
    
    
    The READ-ME.1ST;1 has some explanation and notes on how to print it.
    
    Please review the materials and let me have feedback on the idea in general
    and the materials specifically.
    
    Cheers,

|     Please note that there are some omissions and one or two errors that
    _I_ know about.
    
    I'm working from memory as I'm on-site just now but...
    
    Omissions: 	the module on creating and managing other processes -
    		9772CMOP.PPT. I intend to add to the relevant notes
    		page some details of deductible, non-deductible and
    		pooled resources. Several courses recently have asked
    		about these. While they are explained in the write up
    		of SYS$CREPRC why not place them in the materials.
    
    Errors:	In the sharing code and data module - 9772SHAR.PPT -
    		the piece on global sections states that sections 
    		can/cannot be shared across systems - two particular 
    		slides make mention of this.
    		I am deleting these references since neither global
    		or private sections can be shared outside a processor
    		unless the processor is one of several sharing the SAME
    		memory.
    
    There will also be an index to these materials, prepared using Microsoft
    Word. Don't hold your breath but I expect to do that before the end of this
    calendar year.
    
    On a personal note - welcome back Andy, nay welcome home!

|     Keith:	I am very interested in this course for implementation in
    the US.  I will watch here for updates on your progress.  I think it's
    great and our instructors are looking forward to it also.
    
    		Regards.
