Heh!  It's one of those "take credit where due" areas... I don't
normally
trumpet what I've done (which caused me a bit of trouble when a

fun.  And I figured *someone* ought to defend our names in the book. ^_-

Gee, wonder who *that* might be... of course, when the company in

*does* make a mistake, as often as not they never clear it up, or just
leave it as is until the next edition.
