- Ah, it is nice of you to ask. The easiest way to get a copy of JugglePro is to
- download it from moocow.cogsci.indiana.edu. You will find it under
- pub/juggling/programs/ibm-pc/jugglepro (yes it has its own little directory all
- to itself (isn't that special) ) Now that I've got all those *expletive
- deleted* parantheses under control, I hope my automatic expletive deleter will
- get rid of all my *expletive deleted* expletives. Perhaps the easiest way to
- get the whole thing is to use the tarred stuff if you know about that.
-
- Of course, if you are unable to download you can just send $20 to me and I will
- be glad to send you a copy personally. The current version is 3.1 and it can
- do a lot more than version 2.3 -- more about that later. I will be uploading
- 3.1 shortly with Terry's help.

- > what other notations exist, aside from siteswap?
-
- MHN (Multi-Hand Notation), Synchronous notation, Jack Boyce's notations
- (passing & custom), and a program-like notation used by jug.
-
- > who wrote jugglepro, anyway?
-
- I know the guy quite well I think. I'm pretty sure most people who read this
- do too since he's always writing stupid math stuff to the network.
-

-
- Choreographic notation for dance has already been done -- it's called
- Labanotation (invented by Laban a long time ago) but it is being phased out
- with the video technology of today. A similar notation could have been
- developed for juggling too but I've never seen it.

- > don't be shy, come forth and be recognized.
-
- Okay I will. But first let me tell you how much I enjoyed reading your article
- on the Halloween Fest (which I missed unfortunately) in the most recent issue
- of JW. I liked it a lot.
