\centerline{\bf Typographical notes}
\mni
This book was set in pure \TeX.
\mni
The main part of the text is set in  ``ptmr8t   at 12.5pt'' (Times with the 256 character  Cork 
encoding). Bold and italics were     ``ptmb8t   at 12.5pt'' and ``ptmri8t  at  12.5pt'' 
 respectively.
 \mni
 Programs and Octave output are set in ``cmtt10   at 12.5pt'' (Computer Modern typewriter, 
i.e.\ equally spaced, type).
\mni
Graphs were saved in *.eps (\gl``encapsulated postscript\gl'') format and imported using  
\TeX\ and PSTricks commands of the form:  % yes PSTricks 
\mni
                % this is the WIDTH of the imported graph,

The diagram in section 17 was drawn using the  \TeX\ and PSTricks commands:

\bsl psline[linewidth\th =\th 5pt](0,\th 0)(4,\th 0)\sni
\bsl psline[linewidth\th =\th 2pt](4,\th 0)(10,\th 0)

\mni
Special spacing and font macros were written by the author and imported into the \TeX\ files.
