[Retros] History of Retrograde analysis problem?

[Skjöldebrand, Martin]

Thanks for the suggestions. 

I am toying with the idea of writing something on the subject. Have been
for quite a while, but now that down sizing struck there might be an
opportunity to actually do something =) 

We'll see what happens in the near future. 

Regards,
