An organisation dedicated to proclaiming the devotion of oil companies to their workforce's safety and to environmental awareness uses the 3-right-angles-in-a-triangle blivet as their logo, which I *hope* is a sophisticated joke by their marketing company. http://step.steel-sci.org/ Oh, I see that the Jargon File has a *very* familiar looking entry.

I meant I didn't think it was necessary to _quote_ the entire tutorial in _my_ follow up. A million thanks for the tutorial post from the author.
