Bob --

I wholeheartedly agree. I would not have been able to get where I did
without Larry's work. I don't know how to do it, but I think Larry
deserves a large part of the reward and recognition.

This was NOT a case where the first debugger was stumped and the second
found the magic solution. Larry did a fantastic job, and I have no doubt
that he would have been 100% successful given a few more days. The problem
just needed more than one week, and I would not have succeeded if I was the
first one on the list.

Although billed as a race between competitors, it was more like a relay
race with all the members on the same team, each one contributing to the
final goal. I got help from Larry and from the other debuggers further
down the list.

Of course, this may be moot if the judges find fault with the rig!

If you saw a TenTec1340 in half do you get two TenTec 1320s?

I'm open to suggestions.
