Re: [OVC-demo-team] Toward developing testing protocools

I think you mean 486KB. Specifically, if you grabbed the latest (I
think I didn't upload the change when I first posted, but shortly
thereafter), you'll have this file/size/time:

    brp/evm2003/utils/convert.py 4959 Apr 5 2:36

Let me defer to Karl and/or Fred for your actual instructions. But I
would find it wortwhile to know whether you can:

    1) Install Fedora 1 (virgin system)
    2) Update to Python 2.3
    3) Install PyQt (with whatever dependencies)
    4) uznip BRP.zip
    5) cd brp; ./run_brp

If that works without any glitches or fussing, we're close to being able
to hand BRP to other demonstrators/reporters/etc.

Of course, we also need to iron out remaining bugs. Those I know about
are (from Fred):

    (1) When scanning a ballot, the machine jumps to the next screen.

    (2) The tabulation at the end is wrong, it's a fudged screen Eron
        dumped in at the last moment.

    (3) There are also spurious errors reading CDs.

I only know as much as Fred reports, since I have not yet duplicated
these problems myself. However, (2) *may* be related to the convert.py
bug that I fixed (after having myself created previously).
