It is a very important simple question, yet the reason why it is very important is outside of the scope of this group. You can spend hundreds of posts saying why you won't answer the question or one post and ten minutes answering it. The people on comp.theory spent thousands of posts and three years saying why they won't answer it. That is the *only* reason why I am here. -- Copyright 2025 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." Arthur Schopenhauer
