[This was a rather interesting week for me, as I spontaneously decided
out of the blue to do the synopses list, but found myself ill prepared
for the task. I used to have perl scripts to do most of the work, but
I was stuck with doing this with some fast cutting and pasting in
emacs. I bet you couldn't realize the joy and amazement on my face
when I discovered that my terminal program couldn't emulate the
Backspace key properly.
Anyhow, it's good to be back. - Michael]
