Introduction to Structural Analysis is the first information about the first draft of a text on the subject. I would greatly appreciate any feedback by email. My "official" email address is algis.kabaila@ gmail.com. My "permanent" email address is akabaila[at]pcug[dot]org[dot]au.

I really, really would like to hear from you, no matter how critical you are of that text. I will endeavour to acknowledge any significant contributions. Also, whenever and wherever it is practicable, I will implement your wishes.

The aim of the text is to give a short introduction to computer oriented Structural Analysis, using modern programming tools - Python interpreter with its fairly new matrix analysis module, Numarray. This module takes a lot of sweat out of programming structural analysis that inevitably uses matrix operations.

Linux is a very recent passion - what can I say about it that has not been said in public?

The freeware Lithuanian Editor converts Lithuanian phonetic symbols to a code at the end of the text, preserving simple lower ascii text in the email body. This allows the text to be safely transmitted to all known operating systems and computers. The receiver of such email can restore the phonetic symbols to the text with the aid of the editor or can choose to read the text without the phonetic symbols. It was very useful in Win3.xx, as Win3.xx did not support Lithuanian language. Since Win98 the editor is mostly of a historical interest only.

A sample of Lithuanian text is just that - a sample. No promise that you will see it correctly the appearance depends on the setup of your browser.

TIP User's kits consist of selected freeware and shareware clients for Win3.xx, intended for TIP use only. Some information about TIP and kit use can also be found there.

Delphi is a programming language, which, I regard highly.

Personal -- well, that's about me (and very important - for me, that is!).
