Hi: Here are some more references on contour plotting (thanks to
Michael Aramini (aramini@apollo.com)).

(p.s.: WP 146 (the AI Lab reference) is out of print; I didn't know that it
even existed when I started looking for contouring algorithms -- and
I work here! MC is long gone but AI still lives so the LCS reference
is probably still around on some ITS tape somewhere)
