Hi Daniel,

	This is Aaron.

	I have a copy of this article - I got a copy of it while I was at ParcPlace 
(along with some other interesting tidbits).  Unfortunately, I only have it 
in Xerox form (haha), so I'll either have to scan it, fax it or send it out 
via post.

	I'll look for it when I get home.
