==How to process the membership database==
Processing the database requires UNIX scripts, which I ([[Brett Wuth]]) keep
on the PCSAR virtual machine.

Unless you understand UNIX, you're not likely to understand much
of this. If you need to get someone else to do this, you'll need to
find someone with UNIX or Linux shell skills.

The scripts check for changes in the database, so they keep a
running record of the last changes they've seen.

=== Pending edits ===
Check my personal copy of the call-out list to see any marked-up changes that I've noted
may be necessary.
