	I have a B.S. degree in Technical Writing from Worcester
Polytechnic Institute, focusing on Computer Science. I have a very strong
background in compilers, having several CS classes and projects in that
area. My senior project involved writing documentation for a simple
compiler to be used in undergraduate classes that taught compiler design
and construction. I assisted a professor in proofreading  her textbook
on compiler creation. The book, "Design of Compilers: Techniques of
Programming Language Translation," by Prof. Karen Lemone, is currently
in print. My name is listed in the acknowledgements.

	My general computer experience includes 4+ years using and
programming under UNIX, and 7 years experience using MS-DOS. I am
familiar with several GUIs, including MS-Windows and XWindows. For
desktop publishing, I have used LaTeX, Microsoft Word for Windows, and
FrameMaker.

	I am an American citizen, living in Massachusetts. I am willing
to relocate. Included below is my resume, which is can be had via mail
or fax, if desired.

						Sincerely,

						Gary Gray
