    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thu Jan 20 19:51:16 2022
    Hi everyone,

    I have set up Pandoc which will allow me to convert the HTML documentation
    into about 30 different formats easily. Right now, I am still trying to get
    my MBSE box up and running--the latest tragedy is my inability to write firewall rules correctly--but once that is working, I'm going to be working
    on updating the HTML files.

    I am also going to write man pages for all of the MBSE executables to allow
    for more help in a concise way, taking info from the HTML docs.

    All of this is subject to my time limitations and especially my health. I
    am on a very strong medication that works directly on my brain for
    management of diabetic neuropathy pain and it has a myriad of side effects, including severe drowsiness, inability to concentrate, et al. So that is
    why I have been slow in getting things done. But I want to get on the ball
    and do more!

    Once I have an income and can get a good, comfortable "operating position", that will help also.

    I am working on trying to get Mike to have access to this echo also.

    I assume here that you have access to the docs directory containing the .pdf and the source file as a LibreOffice Open format file and yes word should work with it if needed ?

    I used a import tool along with some editing but yes it does need a better clean up but I was working to a time line.
