And I see exactly that in firefox. That l is indeed a 1.  No wonder I 
couldn't type it, but could copy/paste it.  Until I renamed it with an l.

That bit of confusion first bit me hard, darned near 30 tears ago, building 
a trig functions library for the Microware C compiler running on a trs-80 
Color Computer. Source published in the Rainbow magazine, Offset plates 
made from a DMP printer.  I don't remember that fondly at all. I traded 
printers because of that, the 9 pin DMP's used exactly the same image for 
both.  I had quite a bit more gray hair when that was done. :(

Thanks for making me go look again. :)

Cheers, Gene
