Hello all,


Sorry for the delayed response, I would like to carry on with the sections
which I worked on in the first release unless someone else is working on it.
ie ,. sound.tex and others.tex in prefs-hardware chapter.
Please let me know if you guys want me to do something more.

Regards,

Sayantan Das
