RF> OK - nobody seems to have answered, but _what's_ "3,16" 3,16 (for the actual title see below) is a book Knuth wrote - I believe - in his sabbatical year. For a bible study class he wanted to get a rather representative selection of Bible verses. Rather than the usual study on a certain topic or on one book only, he choose to take the same verse from all books, and he choose chapter 3 verse 16 of each book (if applicable). The book just contains the studies of all these verses. He had well-know calligraphers or designers all around the world write the text of each verse in an artistic way. This is the reference: From: karl@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Karl Berry) Yes, 3:16 has been published, by A-R editions in Wisconsin. You can get from John Neal Bookseller,in Greensboro, NC (I think, although I seem to be remembering Maryland for some reason). It's pretty nice. 3:16 Bible texts illuminated ISBN 0-89579-252-4 A-R Editions, Inc. 801 Deming Way Madison, WI 53717-1903 (608) 836-9000 -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.
