And how will the book help you answer the questions in my posting ??

In fact, one of the questions has already been answered (as
I suspected) by someone irrefutably best-placed to do so, has it not ??

Nope, that one is well on the way (probably tomorrow lunch-time UK time) .

Irrelevant to the topic of your non-reply to afore-mentioned posting.

1. You cannot tell what the "requirements" are from the ramblings on your
own web pages ?? Nice.

2. Probably best for you not to bother.
I suspect I will get from someone the answer both quicker and
more definitively than if I wait for you ...

I could make a guess and hit roughly 85%, but given your tendency to
get pedantic and conspiratorial over little things, I figure I should
make sure I get it right the first time to avoid 50 messages merely on
the topic of misquoting the book. You are not a flexible being.
