I htmlized it... See:
  http://www.aeiveos.com/~bradbury/Authors/Engineering/Landis-GA/TTTR.html
and pointers from that. Geoffrey Landis is a very serious engineer, so
I doubt the paper is incorrect. Some trivia is that he organized the
conference at which Vinge presented the first singularity paper.

Re: my email address...

You may be confusing me with someone else, I don't have an AOL address.
(Are you sure it was last week that was bad for you? :-))
My backup address "bradbury@aeiveos.wa.com" should work now that
I rebooted that system. My regular email (bradbury@aeiveos.com)
is down until I beat up my new DNS provider (eNom) tomorrow.
Sending directly to the system (bradbury@www.aeiveos.com), appears
to work however.
