implementations of ideas and concepts created by the members of
the F.D.+E. committee of SAE. They are primarily meant for the
use of the FD+E members, but anyone is welcome to view the
work and make comments. You are also very welcome to attend our
committee meetings: See our main site at

document errors. The material should not be used for any
other purposes except research.
