The article is real long and has a table or two. I would like to check with the fellow about sending it to the list. For a couple of reasons. He sent it to me for exclusive use in the newsletter. The other is, that while I follow his discussion, I am in no position to elaborate further or defend specific points with clarifications etc. It is real good stuff though. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
