Since Olufsens pairing program seems to be getting used more and more,
it'd be interesting to know the exact procedure this program uses to
calculate the positioning and the pairing. I tried to find it in the web,
but could not. In the archive of this list, there is a short discussion
concerning this matter from half a year ago. Unfortunatelly nothing
definitive came out of this. So, if anybody does now the algorithm, or the
e-mail adress of Olufsen to ask him, I'd really like to know.
