Thanks: I talked to Joan Walker at Thunderbird: She is finishing up the
report of work done by someone no longer at Tbird (sounds familiar, too).
She hasn't got a very good handle on it at this point, but I said I'd send
her some stuff from here (biblio etc which I'll copy to you) and she'll
return the favor. I'm getting some stuff from a Histarch request.
