Yes, John. My original email said =E2=80=9CYes, I have Dan Masters=E2=80=99=
 book=E2=80=9D and I
cited pages 99-100. His briefest chapter. But there=E2=80=99s no instructio=
n on
converting from one to the other- I need to derive that based on what=E2=80=
=99s
different. But, that=E2=80=99s not always intuitive or obvious=E2=80=A6

Thanks,

Dave
