Aloha,
	Many thanks to all who have responded to the survey of automation
techniques. 

	I'd be interested in hearing from the folks involved with cdev (TJNAF) and
CORBA (DESY) especially in regards to command completion/subsystem
synchronization and device abstraction. Also from anyone doing OPI-based
sequencing of subsystems.

	A list of the current responses and the topics mentioned follow:

APS/Beamline Controls (Tim Mooney): 
	Custom records, command (motion) completion, device abstraction.
APS/OAG (Ned Arnold):
	Custom records, OPI based command completion and sequencing.
CFHT (reported by Peregrine McGehee):
	Custom records, command completion, device abstraction.
Gemini/IGPO (Kim Gillies):
	Custom records, command completion, device abstraction, extensions to 
	EPICS (use of CORBA).
Gemini/NOAO (Janet Tvedt):
	Custom records, command completion.
ING (Andrew Johnson):
	Custom records, command completion.
KECK (William Lupton):
	Command completion, device abstraction. 
	[William - does KTL count as an extension to EPICS?].
UKIRT (Maren Purves)
	OPI based automation of status reporting.
