3	Q: How can the author be contacted? A: I can be reached at SlabWorks@slabongrade.net. Include the word “SlabWorks” in your subject line or your email will be ignored (I also hate spam). Alternatively, I may be reached at SlabWorks@gmail.com.
4	Q: What is the release status of SlabWorks™? A: SlabWorks™ is currently in open beta testing. This means the program is complete, but is being tested by self-selected group of users for quality assurance purposes. After the author is satisfied from user feedback that the program is substantially bug-free and meets user expectations, a general public release will be made. The success of the general public release depends on the quality of the feedback from users to the author of the program
5	Q: What other software packages are available for the design of slab-on-grade foundations on expansive clay? A: Only two software packages are available for the design of slab-on-grade foundations, SlabWorks™ and PTI Slab 3.0 by GeoStructural Tool Kit. GeoStructural Tool Kit is limited because it only designs slab-on-grade foundations for expansive clay soil using post-tensioned reinforcing under the PTI design method. Last we checked it cost $500 (contact the vendor for current pricing).
6	Q: Is SlabWorks™ an open-sourced program? A: No. The code for SlabWorks™ is copyright and is not available to the public.
7	Q: Did SlabWorks™ used to be called MultiSlOG? A: Yes. Doesn’t SlabWorks™ sound better? MultiSlOG sounded too much like a bad trip through the Amazon Rainforest.
