It appears to be a variant of a part of CSTR #155, but it is not the same as "Ellipses Not Yet Made Easy" from that report. It also appears that this particular document is a scan; is it perhaps a pre-print version of the paper? Or perhaps it was expanded from what was published in #155? - Dan C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
