Very interesting post, Bruce -- thank you very much for the information.

Yes, in fact, we do a similar kind of chaining *inside* the recognizers.
However, we have not implemented an automatic scheduling mechanism for it.
Peter wanted to automate it in a similar way as you describe (but only for
the endgame databases) when he was still a member of our team.

Well, the LaTeX-to-HTML translator seems to have mixed up something on this
very WWW page. The figure does not really belong to the text ... :-(

If you look up the gzip'ed PostScript version or the original article as
printed in the ICCA Journal, you will see the correct listing. Sorry for
any inconveniences here :-( and thanks for pointing out the inconsistency.

Hopefully, I will find the time to fix it soon.
