I'd like to add my name to Roy's letter. I also received an unsoliceted (1700 line) copy of an algorithim. I do intend to review it. I strongly caution IPG against using my name in their advertising.

For my part, I invited them to submit their information to me; however, I have to jump on the wagon here and also state publicly that this implies no obligation on my part, nor my permission to use any information about me in their advertising or other material. Thank you. geeman@best.com
