Over the last few days I have been scanning The COGO Book. I finally have a large portion of the effort completed. It is available at my aforementioned FTP site.

I am have the first chapter of the Book, "An Overview", to initiate a discussion between all as to the development process we might be able to follow.
What I have found in the first chapter is that it could be an exciting adventure, and very formidable.
1) COGO is defined as a structured computer language.
2) That preparing a COGO program, using the COGO language, is an art. I guess we could say the COGO language is the tool to implement the art. In that it is an art, the use of COGO language should be flexible. It is an engineering tool to solve engineering problems.
3) As such our first problem to solve could be preparing a Boundary Survey,
4) At this level the needed tools could be considered minimal. Allowing for a small part of the language to be used, to achieve a big surveying problem.
5) That is a lot said. Do you see a similar summary for this chapter, "Overview".
