Aha! finally in this dinosaur business there has been a mention of something 
to do with Object Oriented Concepts. I refer to Richie Bielaks article 
<1991Apr22.125642.7488@bony1.bony.com>. It's a pity that there is a slight 
mistake in the example he gives.

Oops!
Does this mean a DINOSAUR is a BACKBONE? I hope he meant to say that a 
DINOSAUR inherits from something that has a BACKBONE, like maybe a vertebrate.
