This is just a quick message to let you know that either later today or
tomorrow I will be posting the information for the OMR, ie the headers, what
to do about missing pieces, etc. I just need to type it up and have Tim
edit to make sure everything is clear. It is basically just and update of
his post from a while back with some additions. I also want to discuss a
storage option(at least a temporary one) with him, and I'll post about that
as well.
Your patience will be rewarded.
