Well, the method that I suggested does work for explaining technical 
matters clearly, often with examples of how to apply what is in the 
specification. Such a story conveys the ambience that occurs in a 
research environment in real life - chats in the staff room, discussions 
in formal meetings, travel to conferences, the thought processes of 
someone designing a specification, the social life around the research 
establishment and so on.

Readers who would like to read a completed novel about an invention 
involving information technology and the partly complete sequel and the 
formal scientific documents, all authored by me, are welcome to do so at 
my website, no registration requested nor required. There is also a 
slide show and a font available.

The website is safe to use, it is not on a computer owned by me, it is 
hosted on a server run by PlusNet PLC in the United Kingdom. I add 
content to the website by ftp over the internet.

William
