Thanks to Bill Noyce for putting me right about Napier's rules. Please disregard all I said about that topic, which was based on a thorough and complete misunderstanding. About the only statement that was correct was where I said- "I'm not very conversant with "Napier's Rules". In which case, I should have shut up, not jumped in.
