    I have not done a lot lately due to being busy but I will update the docs as much as I can.

    I noticed the last update was 8/20(!) Does that apply to the software, manual or both?

    Hello Mortar,

    The manual is updated when I can or if there's a major change. The sodtware is worked on by Andrew when he can and the Git repo is always up to date. I am working more on the manual not much is going to get done this week (doctors' appointments everyday and some are an hour's drive away)

    I'm hoping to do a major update of the manual soon. I've been having a lot of nerve pain in my hands due to diabetic neuropathy but I am hoping to get some relief this week. Typing is very slow and "hunt and peck" for me these days.

    That being said, I am wanting to get it done and generate a PDF. I'd like to eventually convert it to LaTeX and make a proper manual. Thank goodness for pandoc.

    Have you considered using voice recognision software?

    Yes, but due to my still learning to speak with a set of full dentures, that would be a lesson in futility. I am hoping that my appointment tomorrow
    with the VA pain clinic will be fruitful. Cymbalta did amazing things for
    my diabetic neuropathy pain uit it made me sleep 16-20 hours a day also.

    I use the software built into windows when I have to do long emails or documents since my stroke back in 2021. That's bsaically all I use it for.
