has been restored.)
-The Faerie Queen, black holes, and time warping were in the original.
+Dave says the Faerie Queen, black holes, and time warping were in the original.
+However, eithrt he is misremembering about time watping or
+the original implementation was lost during the FORTRAN-to-C translation, as
+Stas Sergeev added a time-warping feature in 2006.
