Travis,

Many thanks, I'll watch out.

In an earlier draft, I believe it was proposed that the type specifier 
be a single character.

I hope that thought will be given to the use of something similar to 
dtype as the mnemonic codes are much more user-friendly than the letter 
codes.

Thanks also for all the slogging you have done over the last many months.
