I found what I would call an excellent technical article on that and other
close topics in the public gnu prc-tools 0.6.0 beta available from
ftp://meson.jpsystems.com
Although in my personal oppinion the author's style needs to be a little bit
less provokative and attacking, when it comes to technical information it's
simply one of the best I've found on the net!
