- Somewhere in the past few days I saw a paper that talked
- about ``weakest prespecifications'' (and possibly attributed them to
- Hoare?). I meant to go back and find out what this was about, but now I
- can't remember where I saw the paper. Does anyone know where I can
- look this up?

- (It was definitely ``prespecification'', by the way. If it
- turns out that it's the same as ``precondition'' I'll be a bit
- disappointed---I got the impression it was something different).
