Paul, thanks for your comprehensive answers. Unfortunately, I'm having difficulties finding the article you mentioned (The Mathematica Journal 8(3) page 402) on the internet. As I'm subscriber I can find vol. 8, 3 but I'm stuck with "page 402". Could you please tell me title and author of the article?
