It was by Donald Casadonte, "Reed Science: A Summary of Current
Empirical and Theoretical Progress". Don was supposed to get together
with me someday to put his research up on Sneezy; I worked a bit with
SGI for him to get the specs down for a new system for reed research. I
guess I'll have to find out where he is now and how things are going -
it always takes longer than you think to get things ready for electronic
publication.
