(I thought I had mailed this to you already)- I guess it got lost or maybe it
wasn't you...

About a year ago I used the PXL as an image sensor for my Undergrad thesis.
Some people on sci.electronics were responsible for me finding that image
sensor and using it. (thanks)

I later distributed a portion of my thesis describing how to interface
digitally to its interior. I still have that file and will mail it to anyone
interested.

The catch: If you write any neat software that does pattern recognition or
anything like that- I'd like to hear about it.

My file describes how to interface it to an IBM PC bus, is in DOS text format
and tarred, compressed and then uuencoded.

If anybody wants it- I will receive mail until tuesday morning and then 
either mail it to everybody or post it if there's sufficient interest.
