Hi Georg,

it not completly true, that nobody knows, who ever did what: In an
Interview with Thoralf Karlsson, rewritten in one issue of "MODUL" in
1989 or 1990 Kathe Spracklen explained, that since the first days of
*Sargon 2* Dan made the search and Kathe was responsible for the
evaluation!
By the way: there are at least one other program from a woman: Caissa
made by Vivianca Wirz. Finally in rgcc I read some messages from a woman
from Austria!
