Hi Corinna,

Thanks for updating the document.  

I understand your structure for this document.  I guess I'm not sure if 
the user's guide is the proper place to keep this historical information
though.  In my opinion, the user guide needs to be clear and concise.  It's
not clear to me that this historical information works toward that goal.
However, I think the changes you made do a better job of clarifying the
two sections and the current state of things in this area.  But it's probably
best if the original poster and other newcomers to provide their comments
on these changes.  If it's clear to the target audience, I'm fine with it.

Thanks again for your efforts.
