Re: Ping: dawn, some mvl questions

Gene Wirchenko threw away context by snipping these questions by Keith H Duggar:

and

.

(The second "this" referred to "/using/ or /manipulation/ of a list representation".)

to which mAsterdam replied:

Gene asked:

Indeed. Evaluation of "/using/ or /manipulation/" is part of the modeling process. The "yet" was to oppose the "as opposed to" in Keith's first question. Received on Wed May 24 2006 - 08:56:37 CEST
