Ok. My last post on the topic. Look for "C14 and Illig" at http://groups.google.com. This one comes up in the first set of hits:
http://www.dbs.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/~krojer/obrief.html Herr Krojer takes Illig, and by extension, Niemitz to task quite effectively, in my opinion. The Neimitz paper irritated the same nerve in me that bothered Markus about the attacks on Illig's original thesis: it smacks of bad science. Perhaps this is why the "hot and often hostile debate" never really left the fringes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Leisher Computing Research Lab Television has raised writing New Mexico State University to a new low.
