Dr. Myers,

	The intraoperative surgical interface(IOS) was utilized a few weeks
ago for a cadaver study at Shadyside Hospital.  IOS ran without
incident.  The current system integrates most supporting applications sans
the registration app(which will undergo major cleanup and usability studies)
into a single process.  In addition IOS now includes support for two footpedals
and the optotrak sensor, audio, etc.

	  Additional user requests are being incorporated into IOS with
a carefull eye to usability issues.  Prior to the cadaver study, I performed 
a code walkthrough for bug fixes && cleanup.  I am currently examining
packages to support multithreading audio, footpedal, etc.  If you are
interested I will let you know when/if IOS is used for "fresh-frozen"
and "living" patients.
