Please Note However: Walter Bright is the author of the Datalight Compiler
and Bjorn works on the compiler for Bjorn. Data I/O employs both of these
fellows, the Compiler is a side-line for both! So Chris Torek point still
holds, even though he may have been under a misconception.

Bjorn's original article, all though accurate, did appear to ME as being
somewhat self serving.
