PROSIMETRUM -- it's in the 1993 edition of PEPP. I'm too lazy to check if
it's in the earlier ones.
(If it's not, and you don't have 1993, let me know, Trevor, and I'll OCR it
for you. It's prolly also in Brogan's _Versification_ bibliography, which
is on-line. Just looked and the 1993 article is +by+ Tim Broggan, which
means it's either not in the earlier editions or is heavily revised in 1993.
Didn't actually read it, as my brain's still much mush at the moment.
