Hi
   Peter Collinson has recommended you to me as a potential employer,
so here is a brief CV for you.

1982 - 1985
   I studied for a degree in Computer Science at the University of Kent
at Canterbury (UKC), passing with honours, grade 2-2 (on a scale which runs
1st, 2-1, 2-2, 3rd, pass, fail).
   For my 3rd year project, I wrote a Remote Procedure Call mechanism which
gives you transparent remote file access and remote execution.  It is currently
in use at UKC to provide a centralised text formatting service.

Summer 1984
   I worked the Computing Laboratory at UKC as an assistant programmer
during the summer vacation, writing a printer-driving back-end for ditroff.

October 1985 - July 1989
   I was employed as a Tutorial Fellow in Computer Science at UKC.
This is an academic post, which included giving the first year undergraduate
lecture course "Introduction to Unix" to 250 students, lecturing in C to
Physicists, and also giving a voluntary course in C to Computer Science
3rd years, in the days when it wasn't part of the course.
   I helped with other people's lecture courses by taking classes in
6800 and 68000 assembly languages, Pascal and Occam.
   A significant part of my work was to administer the three machines
used for undergraduate teaching of computing specialists.

Experience
   I am fluent in 68000 and vax assembly languages, also in C, pascal,
occam, miranda, forth, postscript and lisp.  Also in bourne shell, C shell,
awk, lex, yacc, sed etc etc.  
   I have worked on, and ported code to Vaxen, PDP-11s, High Level Hardware's
Orion computers (of which the processors are their own microcodable engine,
and the Fairchild Clipper, which is a RISC).
   I have written ditroff back-ends for Sanders dot-matrix printer and
Hewlett-Packard Laserjet, and on-screen document previewers for BBC micro
and Atari ST.  I have also worked on troff itself, and most of its
preprocessors.
   In 1986 I published an efficient program to compute anagrams on net.sources.
   I designed a device-independent format for raster graphics, and wrote
a toolkit to convert from all known existing formats into it, from it to
other formats, drivers to display it o a variety of devices and filters
to manipulate images.  I wouldn't reccommend anyone to use it for serious
work today, as other standards have evolved since.
   I have also done hidden line removal, and a novel square root algorithm,
based on a method for the abacus, for which I did a proof of correctness.
