"SGI personnel, of all people, should provide at least SOME
 instructions with code.  ...  It should not be necessary
 for net-time to be spent with queries such as Lance's above."

Paul Haeberli is one of those unusual individuals to whom many
things are obvious that are down right mysterious to some of
us mere mortals.  His heart is in the right place but I'm often
not sure where his mind is except that it usually turns out to
have been in a good place.

The net is rich and varied and, as a consequence, YOU can often
find things on it that are useful to you.  But the price seems
to be that you also have to wade through stuff you find useless
or even annoying.
