Pete, how in the world could you have known that Ed and I have
actually been working on such a "Thing"? It is a side-project
to my "Thought Recorder and Full-Text Retrieval" project.
The basic idea is that The Thing will solve all the world's
problems, pretty simple when you think of it.
Ed, you've been putting more work than I have into this. Do you
think we'll have it done by XMAS?
Oh, we need to also credit Dan Covill for some of the basic
framework ideas.

Hi Paul!
I didn't *know*, it came to me in a dream. Sorry the dream master neglected
to credit Dan Covill.
Regards,
Pete
