  I am attaching a sligthly more recent version, in .tex and .html
(produced by HeVeA. Note : w/ the .Xresources specified by Paul, it
looks very much like the .dvi. And its almost like it without). This
is not a final version, because the name of the used minimization
function (minimize or u_minimize or fminunc) has not yet been really
decided upon. Or has it?

  Isn't there a saying that says to go slowly in order to go far?
Thanks for the work, in all cases.
