Would someone email a copy to me for inclusion in the handbook?  (I've
been to busy to do anything but random sampling of the mailing lists and
article in question slipped by.) I think I'll make a chapter of "Technical
Tidbits" for things like this.  We already have a few things, like memory
utilization and the booting process that would be good companions for such
a chapter.  I've also got a few "Terry Lambert Sermons" on assorted topics
that I've saved.
