Referring to the original article in Vector vol 10.4 it had no title beyond the series title: At Play With J.
I don't know at what stage it acquired the rider: tacit definition -- that I guess must be put down to editorial misclassification based on the opening sentence which uses the term "tacit definition" as a casual example of something to make the eyes glaze over. If the volunteer revising it can suggest a more appropriate title for what has become Chapter 2, I should be grateful. And yes: IMO advances in J (or desktop computers) since Gene wrote the articles are best handled as footnotes or endnotes. But... each case on its merits. Volunteers: please suggest the wording of any footnote or endnote you think it needs. http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Doc/Articles/Play102 illustrates how. Ian Clark Subeditor, APWJ.
