Peter,
I've added:
- a new section to splat/src/docs/sun243.tex
- a new figure GIF splat/src/docs/gifs/interopmenu.gif
- a new menu item (help system reference to id "plastic") to the
Interop menu in SplatBrowser.java
I haven't attempted to do a proper rebuild of the docs, since it
looks like at least some of this is done by build system magic best
left to you. Presumably though at least sun243.htx, TOC.xml, Map.jhm
and sun243_figures/interopmenu.eps need attention.
Feel free to hack the text in SUN/243 around as you see fit,
or say how you'd like me to do same.
I think, bugs apart, that's more or less all I'm intending to do
for PLASTIC SPLAT now. Let me know if you disagree that it's in a
reasonable state.
cheers
Mark
