Geniss Axon has been rechristened to Axon, and that's the biggest news for now :-( No time to do more work on it due to many boring (hush, hush) university obligations both for Vladimir and myself. As for the unspeakable name of G... (I fear that there is Melkor just around the corner...), it's suddenly overtaken poor Axon and is in a class of its own. Now, G... is the one to catch :-), not just a fitting sparring partner. Congrats, Tord. Djordje
