Pegasus is the winged horse from ancient Greek mythology. On the other hand, someone may be using the name for something else!

Producer gas. Hmmmm! Haven't heard of that one specifically, but may be "biogas" ie. methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide produced by the anaerobic fermentation of pig poo (or other poo for that matter).

My mailman just delivered the current issue of Countryside today and producer gas is covered.

Pegasus--are you referring to the computer software???? If so, try cnet.com they often have software descriptions.

Producer-gas is the partial combustion of fuel(coal,wood, charcoal,poop,etc...) in an oxygen deprived enviornment resulting in a slightly dirty hydrogen gas cocktail. It was used in Europe, and Australia during the fuel shortages caused by WWII. Yes the technology is THAT old...
