For those interested, his derivation document may be downloaded from the si-list archives web site. To access, go to the following URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/files/ Then select the "Technical Documents" link. You will find derivation.doc available for download there. -Ray Anderson si-list admin. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
