I'm sure the answer is the Contour function. The
Contour procedure is locked away in a vault deep
under the mountains outside of Boulder, where it is
rotting away. The one or two people who know where
the key is hidden are nearing retirement age and
have no interest in flogging this dead horse. :-)
