Thanks for your compliments and reply. As I said,it is a challenge for anyone
to sort through all the prior TASS work, AND to follow the email discussions,
AND to try to offer some questions or replies. Again, this is one reason
I and (a few) others push the Tech Notes and use of the TASS Web site.
Sorry if my prior reference either was not available or missed.

This is part of a larger problem that I see in other email based discussions.
It is difficult to coordinate running discussions with prior discussions
on the same topics, or prior work on those topics. I'm glad my effort
in this case, to make those links, was useful. Michael Richmond makes
a parallel effort to accumulate the TASS email and to offer search capability.
I use my own mail archives for my efforts and reference, but his archives
are accessable and searchable on the TASS Web site.
