Sounds like this could be interesting. Alas, I do not speak or read
French. I suspect that I am not in this boat alone, hence I am posting to
the group rather than just emailing to Steve.

Would I be overly bold in asking that if someone who does speak French does
get ahold of this book and read it, that he than share with te group
whether or not Jacques-Ren'e Magn'e and Jean-Robert Dizel propose anything
different than what Weis or Stuart give ? (I am assuming, having not
actually looked, that Weis and Stuart do have lines for the counts of
Toulouse (:-) ). Or, more correctly, I suppose, since prior traffic
indicates that there is uncertainty at several points in the "accepted"
lines, a review as to whether this source clears up any ambiguities would
be much appreciated.
