I don't read every post though, so if you want to guarantee that I see something, make sure the subject line is something like "Hey, Robin!"

I'm working under the impression that some examples were cut but haven't had the time to go back and compare the original MS to the published product.

Perhaps Issaries would be willing to shoot a volunteer a copy of the original MS; said volunteer could then cull the extra examples, make sure they gibe with the new numbers & resolution matrix in the published version, and make them available.

Well, my going rate and Issaries' are different, but more importantly this is the busiest time of a very busy year for me. (So busy that I'm probably being foolish to spend time composing messages to this list, but what the hey.) Maybe if you ask me a little later in the year we might be able to work something out.

That said, I don't think the RQ fans who dislike HW feel that way because they don't understand it. I think they mostly know what it's trying to do and wish it were trying to do something else.

Take care >>> Robin
