This article is nowhere near complete, but I'm almost the only author so far and it is about as far as I can take it. It needs various things added that either I do understand well enough to tackle or am not much interested in, often both. Anyone care to improve it? Sandy Harris 06:14, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
