	We have been disconnected from the net for a few days, so I do
not know what else has been said on this, but here goes my two cents.
	It *was* an adaption of Ellison's story, and prominantly
credited as such at the beginning. I thought it was rather good,
better than the other story on the same episode. The lead was well
acted, and the character developement was remarkable for the amount of
time available. I do not know how it compares th the printed story,
since I have never read it, but it certainly *felt* like Ellison!
