Larry, Michael, et al,

I have one date Feb 7th that I was planning to use. I don't know
that it has all of the latest refinements, but it compiles fine with
the latest FB3 beta A15. I recall seeing a lot of "noise" about
"mathematical" refinements, etc. Did they finally amount to
much and is there a really good reason that I should use the
final version. This one "appears" to work peachy keen!

Of course I'm no physicist measuring the angle of the dangle.

PS - The one I have just has a bunch of colored balls. It's not
a billiard table representation. Is the latest one?
