I'm not close to being an expert on this, but I'm reasonably close to
the University of Minnesota. I get invited to their big biofuels push.
I got some physics dept. profs to look at freepascal. I started grad
school in 1976 in Otto Schmitt's lab. We really did push the fiber
optic neural network, made some CDC friends and not friends. Anyway,
congratulations on your great contributions.
Rick.
