Hi, mikra. Let me tell why the past work was deleted. There are only three 
persons who write well in the Della-Vos Group, none of them are programmers. 
For instance, Dr. Vernon Sipple, the main writer, is a garden designer, not a 
programmer. Philippos Costa, the other writer, has a minor in computer science, 
but he started medical residency in Miami, Florida, six months ago. You know, 
resident physicians work 80 hours a week, and don't have time for writing, not 
even in a medical subject. Iolanda is an ESL teacher, but she is in charge of 
proofreading only. This leaves Vernon Sipple in the project, but he needs 
snippets of code for every topic that he decides to treat. Vernon works in the 
tutorial on Tuesdays, from 9 to 12, so every week I post his requests for 
snippets in this forum. In general, Vernon's programs stay the way he writes 
them, without any improvement from the Nim community. The job of proof reading 
is not well done either, so the text is full of typos.

In any case, next Tuesday, I will suggest that Vernon put the text back, and 
that Iolanda and Marcus do the proofreading with greater frequency. I think you 
agree that the standards were not very high, and that Vernon's coding is not 
exemplar.
