Well, it's nearing a provisional release (necessitated because of the
various test versions floating around). As for the comp, it will be
in early December. There are at least 16 likely participants, though
only 5-6 have confirmed so far. If no more confirm, there won't be
any need to arrange/book hardware in advance. That'll save me some
hassle.

The wad features the progsoc home room (located in the now disused
qume room), so it would be good to have a picture of the progsoc logo on
the wall. I took the liberty of designing one. It's essentially a
modified Dyad (pythagorean representation of the number two), here
symbolising "0" and "1". I think most of us understand the
Deep Significance of these numbers.

Here is a crappy ASCII representation of the Dyad:
___
/\(_)/\
|-----|
\/(_)\/

Imagine a circle: two equally sized circles within it, each half the
radius of the large circle, touching the top and bottom of the large
circle respectively. A horizontal line through the middle. And two
semi-circles, centered on the top and bottom of the large circle,
whose radii equal the large circle, clipped by the outside of the large
circle. (Is this completely incoherent? Good, it's all part of the
design.)

Anyway, I'll render it up, with type, sometime, and post it here.
Before I do, I need two things - what symbols go in the top and bottom
internal circles, and colour schemes. I can supply both if necessary,
but it'd be nicer to have some token multiple participation, wouldn't it.
