Hi all,
I'm new to that NG, sorry if I break any rule by sending this
message.
I've been using Lout quite extensively for the past few years but I
never really got involved, besides spreading the word whenever asked
for my opinion on wordprocessing/typesetting systems.
Now I find myself in a position to actually do something moderately
useful for the community: I am the proud owner of a Ben Nanonote, and
lout strikes me as an obvious choice for document preparation on that
platform. I gave it a try a few years ago but dropped the ball (I
stopped shortly after posting this page:
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Lout
)
I switched to just typing my source files on the Ben, and compiling
them on other machines, but as the platform is maturing having the
whole chain on the Ben looks more and more appealing; I am therefore
going to give it another try... so I might bother you guys with stupid
questions as I run into problems. And also for testing if some of you
have a Ben... (particularly for graphs, as I tend to generate them
with J. Planck's JGraph and embed them in Lout as postscript instead
of using Lout's own graph-ing utilities).

Any tips to avoid me posting too many stupid questions to the NG in
the coming weeks? I posted the same message to the mailing list but I
finally found the NG obviously; I was expecting it to be in the big 8
for some reason.

Best regards,

--
