Of course, this warning applies to all Ageton derivatives such as
S-tables and N(x). A very similar error occurs with Dreisenstock.

Andres,
this is the paper based on which I base my warnings re: Ageton.I fear people are not sufficiently aware of this problem.
This and other errors will not occur with any sin - cos SR if done straight
i.e. if not done with logarithms.
hav-DONIOL is a sin - cos SR expressed in hav(x) and done straight.
