Bert,
I'm not sure that there is much more to be figured out. I think that
everything we might need is now known. Am I wrong?
By the way, I've enjoyed your web pages for quite a while. Thanks for the
nice work.
I'm impressed with how good your English is. My mother is Belgian (Flemish)
but she only spoke English around me as a child so, alas, I don't understand
of word of Dutch.

| Hi Mike, Yes, you're right, I started counting memory at 1 which should ofcourse have been 0, and then the offset indeed makes our findings identical. I've corrected the page on my website (and copied your email into it, hope you don't mind): page (...) (25 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
