I didn't quite complete the conversion of the Boggle article. The last
two sentences in it are giving me results that don't match the
original.  I've marked those with
NB.<<<<<...
on the wiki page: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Doc/Articles/Play181

I can't afford to put additional time into this tonight, so I'm just
announcing the discrepancy.  The results I get are:

   $s42 =: /:~ ~. ,/ q42
16
   (4 pathb 2) -: s42
0

(Once the problem in the first of these is resolved, the second should
fall out.)

I am presently unsure how to build tables in the wiki. Sections that
were tables in the original include:
Near the end of the rules listing, beginning "no. of letters"
The word list beginning "ante"
The word list beginning "anne"

The absence of formatting on those three tables is the only remaining
layout work on this article.

Other matters, of less importance:

The following sentence has been left as in the original,
"And here is the result of applying 4 okf to each of these rows: "
but perhaps the J should appear as 4&okf in that line of text. (The
example that follows may remain unchanged.)

Throughout the text I chose to replace "n2" with "n^2" rather than
either typical superscipt notation or "*:2"

Phrase 7.b.d8 is referred to in this essay. Perhaps the link
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/phrases/rotate_reflect.htm should be
noted so that the missing code can be rapidly identified by readers
who are not familiar with the catalog of phrases.
