P.S. I doubt comp.cog-eng is the right place for discussion on the range of
subjects I considered the original poster on this subject to be interested
in. I suppose comp.graphics, comp.cog-eng, comp.groupware & alt.hypertext
collectively cover the range, but somewhat incoherently due to the varying
levels of 'techie-ness' in each. Shame.
