Oh yes, jolly good book - a good story as well as being interesting from the technical point of view. In the same vein is Knuth's "Surreal Numbers". Errata are available in TeX, of course :-) And I've just spotted an error in the errata, although whether the error is Knuth's or Sherlock Holmes's I don't know. [spoiler space] in the Holmes quote, s/proposition/postulate/. It is Euclid's fifth postulate that is significant; Euclid's propositions are derived from his postulates, all of which he proved apart from the fifth. In fact it turned out to be false. -- David Cantrell | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david This is nice. Any idea what body-part it is?
