Ah, it is nice of you to ask.  The easiest way to get a copy of JugglePro is to  
download it from moocow.cogsci.indiana.edu.  You will find it under  
pub/juggling/programs/ibm-pc/jugglepro (yes it has its own little directory all  
to itself (isn't that special) )  Now that I've got all those *expletive  
deleted* parantheses under control, I hope my automatic expletive deleter will  
get rid of all my *expletive deleted* expletives.  Perhaps the easiest way to  
get the whole thing is to use the tarred stuff if you know about that.

Of course, if you are unable to download you can just send $20 to me and I will  
be glad to send you a copy personally.  The current version is 3.1 and it can  
do a lot more than version 2.3 -- more about that later.  I will be uploading  
3.1 shortly with Terry's help.

Nope.. not yet anyway.

hmmmmmm.

MHN (Multi-Hand Notation), Synchronous notation, Jack Boyce's notations  
(passing & custom), and a program-like notation used by jug.

I know the guy quite well I think.  I'm pretty sure most people who read this  
do too since he's always writing stupid math stuff to the network.

Choreographic notation for dance has already been done -- it's called  
Labanotation (invented by Laban a long time ago) but it is being phased out  
with the video technology of today.  A similar notation could have been  
developed for juggling too but I've never seen it.

Okay I will.  But first let me tell you how much I enjoyed reading your article  
on the Halloween Fest (which I missed unfortunately) in the most recent issue  
of JW.  I liked it a lot.
