hidden auxiliary barriers Explanation: I'm playing with the word "Spion" a bit, but at least this gives the phrase a technical meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-12 20:33:32 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Spion\" as in \"secret agent\", \"hidden agent\". |
