Hello Peter,

Sounds very interesting. Is source code available?

I also was not able to access the article. If IJC was
an Open Access journal, you should own copyright and
be able to post the article yourself on a server, or
repurpose it in any way. By retaining copyright, the
article can't die with the journal.

The problem of maintaining a permanent copy of your
article actually sounds like a huge opportunity for
the right enterprising company or individual...

cheers,
Rich
