Dear H-16

ahhhh Thunk did not come here asking a specific question.  His subject
title was "It's a Bird, it's a Plane, um, ahhh, it's a Boid?"   and, I
believe it was a clear question of "what are these things".  Well,
nobody has been able to say (I had code up) but thunk thinks it is
clear that since it is not threaded or fibered (and does not need
this) it is something "new", and so was born a new name that did not
any carry AI baggage.


No desire to repeat himself, sorry, but there is a lot of confusion,
it might seem.  How can such a simple plug-let class be useful?

BTW  are you any relation to H-8  (my very first computer from
Heathkit :) )
