Acknowledgments We sincerely wish to thank Mr. Amos J. Carpenter (now at the Department of Computer Science, St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, IN 47978) who performed the necessary calculations for Figures 1-12.

These calculations were done on a

VAX-ll/780 and graphed by a Calcom plotter (both at Kent State university). We also express our gratitude to Faith Carver, Esther Clark, Anna Lucas and Mary McGill, who took great care in the typing of our manuscript.
