                  **********************************

I'm including them in the hope that they're at least somewhat useful,
but they have only been partially converted to reflect the major changes
that have happened recently.  There may be very misleading or just rough
bits as you get further in, and the part still documents the old
version.  Caveat emptor.  I hope to finish revising them soon.
