Acknowledgement

There are many people, programs & `puters that deserve acknowledgment for their support. Without them, this thesis would not have been written. I especially want to thank (with FrameMaker's suggested spelling in parenthesis) :

* Walter Bender, my advisor, for accepting me into his Garden--his inspiration, creativity and support throughout the sometimes confusing process was essential.

* My readers, Børre Ludvigsen, for rich comments and sincere advice, and Muriel Cooper for design hints.

* The members of the Electronic Publishing group, orwant (arrant), teo (doe), lacsap (lactose) + the UROPers (rapers), for providing a creative work environment.

* My officemates: foof (FIFO), sanjay (Santa), and arista. We shared an office, a messy nature, and all learned some foreign words.

* Paddy, for being the third reader.

* Judith, for playing with the words that ended up becoming the title of this thesis.

* Fellow gardeners for sharing good food, music & ideas: janet, uri (euro), sbeck (speck), wad, abha (abbey), kabooom (kabobs), klee (kale), blount (blond), barry, lisa, ogura (guru), tuna, debby (dopey), holtzman (talisman), scottf (scatter), hewlett (elate), ijshen (edition), warlord, vmb (vamp), lip, leyna (loony), gillian, and janette.

* Also thanks to wave for breaking the double-spaced tyranny, to straz (stars) for an essential network message, and to mario, bradedel (breaded), dsmall (dismal), masuishi (misuse), martin, and che (the).

* FrameMaker, the #1 program in which this report was created, and GNU-emacs into which most of the text was written.

* Milano, the Sun4 workhorse behind the display, and my Zenith laptop.

* Børre Stenseth and Per Ofstad for showing me that Apple II.

* Rune Fløysbonn and Bård Håfjeld for introducing me to X and FrameMaker. Also thanks to Erik Lillevold of TF.
