I am flattered that you should have singled that one out.
Actually I am rather proud of the program I described (it did a
specialized CA chore, not a general program) because it beat
everything then available (SCOONSCHIP, REDUCE, MACSYMA) all
hollow in both speed mof execution and size of problem that
it could handle.
