Well perhaps I was reading too much detail into your crediting?

I'll bet $10 on that too. We just have to find someone who'll bet the
other way.

About your catalyst library, what is it? (The only catalyst library I
could find on google was described as "Tools for Encouraging the
Growth of Indigenous Hymnody" in ethnomusicology, which doesn't sound
right.) Is it a set of Object wrappers for IDL widget functions or
some such? And is it publicly available?
Cheers,
Sean
