Hi Brad

The link you sent doesn't work at my present domicile in Istanbul.
Either the address is not complete or the Web-page is censured (yes
that exists here).

If this is of interest to you, just look at Andy Young's different
animated simulations which you can find either via the Table of
Contents http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/toc.html or via the
Alphabetical Index http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/alphindex.html
