As far as I know, it was done by Oege. There's a file called memory.sxd
in Figs/ that I assume is the source for the figure. I've never used
OpenOffice Draw before, but I could try to crop down the area it
exports. It may make sense for someone else to do this, though, since I
can't reproduce the grey rectangle Ondrej mentioned... If someone else
can, and would like to do this, please speak up.

I plan to call it a day at some point this afternoon and replace the
numbers by newly generated ones on my own machine. I'll check the
section for any re-wording that needs to be done. There should be some
improvement, though nothing dramatic -- we may be 15 times slower
instead of 20, that order of magnitude.

According to Sheridan's website, "Only one form is needed with the lead
or contact author's original signature". Isn't Chris both lead and
contact author? If you think any of us could do it, then I could, except
for the slight difficulty with access to a fax machine... If someone has
one immediately and conveniently available, please reply saying that
you'll do it.

Yes, I have the email. As I said, I plan to finalise my changes this
afternoon. Is the paper already in the format they want (i.e. using US
Letter paper, Type 1 fonts etc? They want a .tex version, but a single
file rather than a directory structure -- is there an automated
procedure we use for converting our format to a single file, or should I
inline the \inputs manually? They seem rather specific in the type of PS
file they expect, so any advice regarding potential pitfalls would be
appreciated.
