A. "Biep" Durieux): I don't remember where I saw it [ Wickelgren's book, *How to Solve Problems*, I think], but doesn't "methodology" have a component which says that an "outside" observer must be able to discern the "method." I know that sounds circular, but the gist of it was that methodology can be transmitted between people and can be faithfully reapplied by someone other than the originator. How does this fit into the discussion. -- D. E. (call me Steve) Stevenson steve@hubcap.clemson.edu Department of Computer Science, (803)656-5880.mabell Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634-1906
