You only need to register--which is what davegsc is referring to--if you want to download the pdf. You can read the pdf on the linked page by just scrolling down. You can also print to PDF from your browser. Cheers!

I would love to look at this project, but academia.edu will only do that if I let them "view my Gmail contacts". Why? And why the hell would anyone allow that? Dave
