Dearest Tiger,
direct to the Point(s):
P1) From a life-long experience as an experimental Physicist and as a s/w developer (CERN-GE, Univ.-TS, ...) I've got to appreciate good tech.doc.s sparing me unnecessary difficulties in making good use of high tech. devices in general, and computer systems and s/w tools in particular.
P2) From that experience I reached a “revolutionary” conclusion, that is that good/effective documentation should be written from the end-user point of view (and purpose, and needs), not from the involved high tech. device designer, producer or seller, as it usually happens.
P3) With such basic and revolutionary conviction in mind I decided to demonstrate the usefulness, the validity of my “vision” in a real case; that is with Eric, a fairly complex s/w tool so far virtually undocumented.
P3.1) A “basic and revolutionary conviction” which, by the way, implies that for writing valid and sensible documentation about a given tool, especially a high tech s/w tool, first of all (among other things, but this first of all) obviously you must know what that tool is intended for, you must be a fair expert of the intended art, so to test and know what you are talking about. Obviously.
P4) My intended reward for that commitment of mine was to get in touch with and obtain the operative adhesion of a bunch of, say, half a dozen users, so to get valid and sensible feed-back and professional support from qualified and collaborative fellow users. It would be sort of methodological revolution about how Tech.Doc. should be intended, and done.
P5) All what here said is openly and clearly announced in the Foreword of my work, and then stated with each and all pages that follow.
P6) In conclusion, after about half a dozen Tech.Reports aimed at the stated revolutionary goal, being, as it happens, my effort not appreciated nor encouraged by the Eric users' community, of course there is no reason to keep inflicting it upon them. Of course.
P7) All your question & remarks are anyhow welcome.
So long. Yours,
- P.M.

Subject: Conclusion about Studio-PM's “Tech.Reports”
Hi P.M.
just got on the Eric mailing list and saw your post. I do not know anything about the history of that document, but I would like to offer you the feedback from my first steps with Eric from 3 days ago.
I think Eric could be what I had been looking for for some time. My normal C++ IDE (CodeBlocks) unfortunately does not support Python and I just can not get used to those code monsters of VSCode or rather counter-intuitive, undocumented IDEs as KDevelop (which I got to run but really did not warm up to it). Major frustration was maybe it was missing someone like you, who wrote up something about the program to get started and around most pecularities.
So I really apprecitate your work on Eric and thank you very much for your effirts I think most people have no idea how time consuming a full documentation of such a complex program is.
I have to admit that I had wasted a lot of time searching for some documentation for Eric. I was led off by the title "Technical Report" and the look of first few pages and dismissed it as too detailed developer stuff rather than Getting Started Stuff. I think this is mainly due to the way the document is presented on the Eric website.
The Document proved most valuable in clearing up the strange concept of API. At least I have understood what it is not. I have not really understood what exactily it is and what is does from the explanation, but that is because usually I only understand things after seeing a concrete example, because I typially interpret whats written in a different way very often. However, I see how difficult it would be to make a concrete example of this.
I ran into a big problem setting up Eric in Linux using pyenv. I got a workaround going now, but there is a severe thing going wrong. I noted that your version is too old to cover the new tow VirtualEnv dialogs in Extras. I must admit that I did not really undertand what they do, because in my installation they fail to do what I would naturally expect them to do. With the Configure dialog I accidentially deleted all my VEs in pyenv, so I got a bit careful about playing around.
As I am new to python I am sure that most people starting with Eric would be highly appreciative of your document, would they get it presented as such: "Description of Eric IDE, its main Concepts and Installation in Windows". (not very up to date). AFAIK there is not other written documentation around at all.
You mentioned in your text you would have some additional information. I would be pleased to learn more about it or receive the files if you would be prepared to send them.
Best regards
Tiger
PS: I would have answered you on the mailing list, but I'm afraid I do not know how to answer to a specific post there. I just pressed the "Reply via email to" button on the page. Please feel free to at this onto the mailing list if you think that is useful.

She has never mentioned her father to me. Was hewell, the sort of man whom the County Club would not have blackballed? "We walked by the side of our teams or behind the wagons, we slept on the ground at night, we did our own cooking, we washed our knives by sticking them into the ground rapidly a few times, and we washed our plates with sand and wisps of grass. When we stopped, we arranged our wagons in a circle, and thus formed a 'corral,' or yard, where we drove our oxen to yoke them up. And the corral was often very useful as a fort, or camp, for defending ourselves against the Indians. Do you see that little hollow down there?" he asked, pointing to a depression in the ground a short distance to the right of the train. "Well, in that hollow our wagon-train was kept three days and nights by the Indians. Three days and nights they stayed around, and made several attacks. Two of our men were killed and three were wounded by their arrows, and others had narrow escapes. One arrow hit me on the throat, but I was saved by the knot of my neckerchief, and the point only tore the skin a little. Since that time I have always had a fondness for large neckties. I don't know how many of the Indians we killed, as they carried off their dead and wounded, to save them from being scalped. Next to getting the scalps of their enemies, the most important thing with the Indians is to save their own. We had several fights during our journey, but that one was the worst. Once a little party of us were surrounded in a small 'wallow,' and had a tough time to defend ourselves successfully. Luckily for us, the Indians had no fire-arms then, and their bows and arrows were no match for our rifles. Nowadays they are well armed, but there are[Pg 41] not so many of them, and they are not inclined to trouble the railway trains. They used to do a great deal of mischief in the old times, and many a poor fellow has been killed by them." As dusk came on nearly the whole population of Maastricht, with all their temporary guests, formed an endless procession and went to invoke God's mercy by the Virgin Mary's intercession. They went to Our Lady's Church, in which stands the miraculous statue of Sancta Maria Stella Maris. The procession filled all the principal streets and squares of the town. I took my stand at the corner of the Vrijthof, where all marched past me, men, women, and children, all praying aloud, with loud voices beseeching: "Our Lady, Star of the Sea, pray for us ... pray for us ... pray for us ...!" It had not occurred to her for some hours after Mrs. Campbell had told her of Landor's death that she was free now to give herself to Cairness. She had gasped, indeed, when she did remember it, and had put the thought away, angrily and self-reproachfully. But it returned now, and she felt that she might cling to it. She had been grateful, and she had been faithful, too.[Pg 286] She remembered only that Landor had been kind to her, and forgot that for the last two years she had borne with much harsh coldness, and with a sort of contempt which she felt in her unanalyzing mind to have been entirely unmerited. Gradually she raised herself until she sat quite erect by the side of the mound, the old exultation of her half-wild girlhood shining in her face as she planned the future, which only a few minutes before had seemed so hopeless. After he had gloated over Sergeant Ramsey, Shorty got his men into the road ready to start. Si placed himself in front of the squad and deliberately loaded his musket in their sight. Shorty took his place in the rear, and gave out: The groups about each gun thinned out, as the shrieking fragments of shell mowed down man after man, but the rapidity of the fire did not slacken in the least. One of the Lieutenants turned and motioned with his saber to the riders seated on their horses in the line of limbers under the cover of the slope. One rider sprang from each team and ran up to take the place of men who had fallen. "As long as there's men and women in the world, the men 'ull be top and the women bottom." Then, in the house, the little girls were useful. Mrs. Backfield was not so energetic as she used to be. She had never been a robust woman, and though her husband's care had kept her well and strong, her frame was not equal to Reuben's demands; after fourteen years' hard labour, she suffered from rheumatism, which though seldom acute, was inclined to make her stiff and slow. It was here that Caro and Tilly came in, and Reuben began to appreciate his girls. After all, girls were needed in a houseand as for young men and marriage, their father could easily see that such follies did not spoil their usefulness or take them from him. Caro and Tilly helped their grandmother in all sorts of waysthey dusted, they watched pots, they shelled peas and peeled potatoes, they darned house-linen, they could even make a bed between them.
