1303.0. "Anyone interested in adopting the PEO integration?" by SHALOT::LANPHEAR (Take the tide one wave at a time) Mon Aug 24 1992 19:29

    Hello,

      Does anybody know of a group which would be interested in adopting
    and supporting what at one time was called the Portable Electronic
    Organizer Integration for ALL-IN-1?  Since it died as an ASSET when
    ASSETS did what ASSETS did (et al), it was mostly a non-issue, but now
    Sharp contacted what used to be Charlotte regarding the software.

      Sharp would love to work with Digital to have the integration
    available to sell to customers who have lots of Sharp Wizards (and as a
    selling point for selling Wizards to new customers), but there are two
    problems:

    	1) Charlotte was where the software lived last, and Charlotte is no
    	   more (or will cease to exist soon - _officially_).  It needs a home.

    	2) The PEO software was written for the old version of Sharp's
    	   transfer protocol.  The PEO software protocol needs to be updated,
    	   and it's written in C, with lots of ugly QIOs and stuff.

      There is also a NOTES file called SHALOT::CASIO_BOSS.NOTE which would
    need to be adopted (currently under 1500 blocks).
    
      So if you know of a group who could take this on, upgrade the
    software, and work with Sharp to sell it to customers (probably some
    travel involved), please send me mail.  It will be a moot point in
    about a week if I don't hear anything.  Please, no replies re: Charlotte.

      Thanks in advance,			Regards, Dan Lanphear
