Re: Question regarding Action 111

Thanks, Steve. That sounds pretty good; I can work with that for starters.

I'm not familiar with Ashok's 3 classes of constraints, however. Ashok, if
you know what Steve is referring to, it could be helpful if you could throw

In any case, I'll start with this and if John chimes in, I'll include
include consideration for his commentary as well.
