Hi Ric,
You are right. I apologize. I needed to clarify what I had said to make
clear what I was wanting.
As you say, some examples would help. To design a set of alternative
symbols is not a small task. I am not able to do it by myself in a short
period of time. Solving such problems is achieved most quickly through
brainstorming between a number of people. A competition to come up with the
richest symbols might help.
However, if you want to wait a while for me to get up to speed with J, I
will produce a sample set for you.
