I don't know. I've read things claiming that it could be (one of
Gavan Lintern's references, which I can't find, but can probably
track down tomorrow). If it is o.t.w., these people should be critized.

I'm still bouncing off the section of Craig's robotics book that
explains how to do manipulator dynamics, unfortunately.

Setting these issues aside, maybe further explanation (such as your
recent posting) accompanying the program more like what is called for,
rather than `backup'. When I first started looking at it, I didn't
immediately get the idea that it was a proposed solution to a
long-standing puzzle (and, due to continuing massive ignorance, still
couldn't try to persuade anybody that it was the right solution).
