Subject: DIAGONALIZATION TEST
To: WRYTING-L@LISTSERV.UTORONTO.CA

Early, early test of a basic diagonalization algorithm. (Many, and more
subtle, variations to follow.) Read from top, rightwise, and then down. For
instance, the first word is "Look," or

L o k
o

Etc.

The text is Shakespeare's sonnet #2 ("Look in thy glass..."), for testing
purposes only! This is NOT a finished work!
