The latest issue of the CAEN (U of Mich) newsletter has an article
that does a decent job of all of this as far as the CAEN community
is concerned.  It would probably be a good start for an Athena
article.  I tried getting to the electronic version of the article
at URL:

http://www.engin.umich.edu/htdocs/Newsletter/Volume_13/march-april.96/article_3.html

but was not successful.  I have the paper copy and can give to it
the appropriate person if you let me know who it is.
