Probably no ten combined do either :)

|You are correct that we did not get an export license per se but rather

Great, that's the only distinction I was looking for.  It's not the
approval that makes it ok, but the fact that it's ok that makes for
the approval.

|I'm not prepared to say more without getting permission.

Well, if you do please post!

|I wish you
|luck and hope (for the sake of your sanity) that your interest is
|theoretical rather than practical.

I seem to have lost the posting that started this thread, but my
impression was that somebody somewhere had a practical interest.
Maybe I'm confused, though, and it was all an intellectual exercise
in futility.  [Good Wheel of Fortune before & after clue :]
