- also had the casting vote though!

- The C= manuals ain't great, but they're a start; I'm going to try & get
- permission to distribute the documentation I have written; in the past
- it was supposed to go into a future product, but at the mo' we're way
- too busy. If I do (and frankly I expect I will get permission) I'll go
- ahead & post it here (tis pretty long though).
