	I'l ck it out, thankee.  I have been wondering about the diff
	between openX and libreX {X == "office"} but  guessed that   
	"open" was what the BSD's chose ...    

	BTW, yr "Helpful page:" was a win++.  the times that Knuth  drove
	up  for lectures, we got into a philosophical chat:
	life/death/disability.  His lecture covered his hacking on curves,
	IIRC.  "S", "C", "O"::  there's a serious amount of math in  
	those glyph...
