________________________________________________________________________________
1. This is a REVISED FINAL fall 2001 schedule; the main difference from before is
   that 3-beam work is moved to the last 3 weeks of October, and FLUOR work is 
   moved to the first 3 weeks of November.
2. The single-CCD star-tracker acquisition sequence using VxWorks control will be 
   perfected by Ahearn and Lacasse this summer, and will be used for both 2- and 
   3-telescope observations starting in September.
3. Telescopes and delay lines will also be controlled by the VxWorks system.
4. Data acquisition and Short Delay (SD1) for FLUOR will be controlled by FLUOR 
   as usual.
5. FLUOR observers are requested to look at IM Peg on the approximate dates shown
   with ~38 m baseline, in exchange for collaboration rights with M. Ratner.
6. FLUOR observers are requested to help Michelson Summer School IOTA-time winner
   Neda Safizadeh with her Mk III giant, supergiant K-band program, also collab.
