Nick,

I've just asked Dr. Gustafson to create a group on his behalf and 
he was fine with it:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/unum-computing

  It would be nice if you'd subscribe to it:

BTW. my background is 3D computer graphics and computer 
programming languages.
I'm interested in unum II because it appears to be a very neat 
(closed) algebra, even under division by 0.

I've been dabbling with division with zero in the past, and 
studied the wheel algebra and meadows algebra (both allow 
division by zero).

I'm not sure (yet) but it appears that unum II has similar nice 
properties like wheels and meadows. (and more!)

Robbert.
