    And ten minutes ago, onto my hall carpet, slipped by the postman through
    the letter-box slot in my front door (that's the way it happens here in the
    UK), has plopped the package just as he describes. Included are all the
    five methods of Norie (Krafft, Borda,Witchell. Mendoza, Lyon), with an
    example of each, together with table XXXV. All I could have asked for, and
    enough to keep me quiet for a while.

    Thanks a lot, Bruce.

    George.
