OK, sure it's a little off. I thought maybe it was just from my mail reader=
=20
(not a monospaced font ATM). In any event, I took the 'proper triangle' as=
=20
meaning the output should be laid out with three sides, skinny on top and f=
at=20
on the bottom, not necessarily as a perfectly spaced equilateral triangle.
