                      by Richard Karsmakers

 The second time this new column appears, and it's still hardly a
very useful one,  but it's a nice trivial thing and it's not  too
big anyway, so who'd give a toss anyway (it's also some promotion
for  the kind of output that the potentially  forthcoming  "Brain
Management Utility" database will be capable of doing).

 So...on November 25th the following things have happened:
