Dear Bill Selmeier,
I am sorry but it seams that I am still not able 
to send direct to the list. The following answer was sent
25. november 2006 17.14.56 MET:

Thanks to MichaeL Albaugh for a very informative 
answer. (Not a word to much) It seems that many 
things are invented before their properties are 
fully understood and explored. If I may add a 
question I would ask: who then was first 
referring to or to practise Self Modifying code - and on which machine?
A short comment concerning Leibniz: I believe his 
idea was that two bits could represent all kinds 
of logical reasoning because they could be 
ascribed higher order logical meaning, while the 
modern use of the digits presupposes that they 
function as letters which are empty of content. 
Would you agree in this difference?
best

But it did not show up in inforoots vol 33 : 6 
which I received less than an hour ago and with 
the date:27. november 2006 21.01.01 MET

I don't want to disturb you too much, but there 
may still be some sort of problem?
best regards
