        To Potential Employer:

                  A few months ago I voluntarily left my job in the
        Northeast after my last project completed and have  relocated  to
        the  Houston area and am staying with my girlfriend.  While I had
        hoped to find permanent employment in the Houston  area,  I  have
        become  increasingly disappointed in the job market in this area.
        We are therefore willing to relocate elsewhere if necessary if an
        appropriate   opportunity   arises.   A   permanent  position  is
        preferable, but long term (1 yr or more) contract work  would  be
        considered also.

                  I  have  over  15  years  experience  in  the  computer
        industry  in  software  development,  firmware  development   and
        diagnostics,  8 years experience with the C language and the Unix
        environment.  I also have had extensive experience with assembler
        languages.   I  also  am  somewhat  familiar  with  C++  as  I am
        finishing up  a  small  diagnostic  contract  project  in  a  DOS
        environment with Turbo C++.

        A copy of my resume follows.

        Sincerely,

        Robert T. Falkowski

                                                     Graduated with High Honors


    OBJECTIVE:

              Challenging position in Software Development, Embedded Firmware
    Development,  Diagnostics,  or  an  equivalent,  preferably   in   a   UNIX
    environment.   Special  interests  include  exposure to more communications
    and/or X-Windows.

    HARDWARE/SOFTWARE:

              "C", "C++", SUN Workstations, TCP/IP, Ethernet, ARCnet, BSD 4.3
    Unix and BSD Socket IPC, SUNView GUI, Interactive SysV UNIX, XENIX,  680X0,
    8086,   80286,   Z-80   Microprocessors,  SCSI,  Hardware/Software/Firmware
    Diagnostics, Embedded Controller Firmware, Bit-Slice Programming

    ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

    Principal Software Engineer                               Nov.1988-Nov.1991
    Clearpoint Research Corp.
    Hopkinton Mass. (left voluntarily & relocated to Houston)

              Designed and coded in C, real time data collection system which
    interfaces to Ingres. System comprised of network of  68010  based  testers
    interconnected  by ethernet (initially ARCnet).  Wrote tester ethernet code
    and Sun workstation  ethernet  code.   Sun  ethernet  code  implemented  as
    command  packet  driven  server process that interfaces ethernet to TCP/IP.
    Suns (3/50's) acted as hubs for tester  groups.   User  interfaces  to  the
    network  implemented as TCP/IP clients to the server.  Wrote user interface
    client  program  with  hierarchical  screen  structure  to  monitor/control
    testers.   Program  provides  features such as tester status, serial number
    entry, validation of reported errors, and virtual connections  to  testers.
    Program  uses  Sunview  graphical  interface if available. Wrote background
    client program to keep track of board testing times.  Also wrote background
    processes  which  convey  error  data to the Ingres host via TCP/IP.  Wrote
    program to capture and print statistics such as the number of boards  being
    tested,  number  completed  testing, and number of available slots (created
    input to tbl program).

    Misc: Wrote  firmware  program  in  C  which  converted  a  SCSI  disk/tape
    controller  into  a  SCSI  target  emulator  (disk  or  tape).  Wrote 68000
    assembler listing generator using lex and yacc.  Also wrote Unix object  to
    S-Record converter utility.  Also supported various product diagnostics.
