Roger, many thanks for the extra comments. It is correct to say that I
did not think through fully the back-shadowing and foreshadowing
narrative demanded by a system such as Open Office Writer, however the
side-shadowing narrative proposed by Morson still offers what is far
more interesting. I fear you may be confused about your projected
confusion of UNIX and GNU Linux, if I may be forgiven for saying so.
Many best wishes, Chris Jones.
