Summary: 

I've been doing some checking around, and we are trying to make sure that
the updated information gets to the interested parties. Solves this case,
mostly, but in some ways it doesn't solve the problem.

A good part of the problem is simply that a distributor like Omega works on
commission and doesn't have the time or resources to really deal with very
low volume accounts such as teachers and grad students (three sets of
chips, a set of manuals, and you never hear from them again). It tends to
get very expensive for them to do this handholding, so they try to minimize
it, justifiably so. But we don't want to cut the schools out from our
product, so what we've done here at National is set up a University support
program to help get the information and materials needed out to the people
in the school. If you're working with National parts, and are having
trouble getting the information you need, drop me a line and I'll do what I
can do get you hooked into the program.
