It's a kludge, but -<br>
A. It's faster than showing 10,000 (even after my image now takes
no<br>
time to update the morph, creating the toc text entries still

time. If anyone knows any good OO patterns for lazy evaluation, I'm
game<br>
to try and refactor this).</blockquote>

Great book, proper pattern documentation, using Eiffel for most
examples. You should find it quite useful.</div>
