[net.nlang] sinc

I am beignining to receive questions about the triple homonymn

	{ sinc, sink, sync }

They take the form of ``pardon me, but what is the meaning of `sinc'?  It
isn't in my dictionary.''

Remember, I said that technical words ARE ALLOWED.  Anyhow, SINC( x ) is
defined as:
			{     SIN( h )      }
		L I M	{ ----------------- }
		h->x	{        h          }

For x != 0, this is  SIN( X ) / X  ;  for x == 0, this is 1.  Anyhow, if
you allow COSINE, you rally have to allow SINC.
