I made another mistake. This reply is correct. In the fourth line of the second paragraph of my first reply, the word 'left' should have been 'right'. This reply corrects the error. At 10:02 AM 2/24/03 -0700, Lee Skinner wrote:

But he also said a day earlier:

I could not determine what the subtle inconsistencies are that he was referring to.
Can you elaborate on these, Jim?
It's a case of coincidence. When I named the image, I was referring to inconsistencies in the image itself. I did not realize that I had omitted the < frm: > from the formula name, thereby creating an even bigger wrongness. The inconsistencies in the image are subtle. Compare the elements in the lower right corner to the corresponding elements in the upper left corner. You will see that the lower right elements are larger. Also notice the black area near the center (just to the left) of the bottom edge of the image. The corresponding area at the top edge is colored a pale green. This lack of symmetry is not kosher in proper quadratic midgets. Jim M.
