Okay. It would not surprise me if I've developed a high tolerance for
poorly typeset English texts. I'm afraid I can't help further here.

>(What is `catch-22'?)

D�sol�. I wasn't sure how commonly known that idiom was. It's a title of
a book by Joseph Heller, and it refers to a situation where progress
depends on a circular dependency. That is, In order to go from A to B, I
need C first, which depends on already having B.
