Log message:
        Patched in the diffs from 02-February-2006 to 02-March-2006, because 
I'd trashed
        them when checking in the new directory structure.

-Need to implement a shared buffer for funny functions that require relatively
-large permanent transient buffers (1024 bytes or so), that is, buffers that are
-permanent in the sense that they probably shouldn't be deallocated but are only
-used from time to time, buffers that can't be allocated on the stack because
-they are of variable and unpredictable but usually relatively small (usually
-line buffers).  There are too many of these lurking around; can save a sizeable
-amount of space at very little overhead and with very little effort by merging
-them.

-Clever multiplatform GUI idea (due partly to John Williams): write a GUI in
-Java where each statistical procedure dialog box could be downloaded from the
-server independently.  The statistical procedures would run on (the/a) server

-of web browsers.  Help could be implemented through the browser as well.
