Ah, Marta, I do not. I should have the article
somewhere, but - don't know where. I am sorry.
You could email Bill Jones - at acers - and ask him.
Or anyone there, I should think. I'm sorry and in
fact, I don't even know the year, let alone the month,
it was published.

I regret it. But - Merry Christmas, anyway. You
going to be in Minnesota for the holidays, or heading
for other climes? - best - Dannon
