Sean and Cliff, Happy New Year! Pardon my intrusion but I couldn't resist.
(I still fancy building a Raku (formerly known as Perl 6) interface with
BRL-CAD.)

This thread is interesting. I didn't realize the old emails were around.
Quite a few years ago I searched through all I could find to look for the
"off-by-one bug" I found in late 1993 or early 1994 when I started working
for ASI in Fort Walton and was assigned to work with BRL-CAD. That bug
report was strictly by email corresponce as I recall (in fact, I may have
even written a letter to ARL to document the problem). I was a real C
newbie, having come from Sun FORTRAN to SGI C. At the time I was looking to
see if I could beat you at the earliest bug find!

Cheers!

-Tom

P.S. My granddson is 9 and a half now. Pretty smart but more interested in
Minecraft, ice hockey, an lacraosse than learning Raku (or C). Your
daughter is probably a programming rock star by now!
