Good idea.

Hmmm, maybe, if I had a couple beers I could agree, but it's so slight, I'd
agree with "equal uniform steps all the way across", except right at the white
end.

Agree.  But maybe not to the same degree as what you see - I wouldn't say
"anomalously large" but "somewhat greater".    Difference in words, or
differences in sight?   


People should state what kind of monitor they're using, esp. if not a standard
CRT monitor.

I'm looking at your page on a Philips 17" flat screen LCD display, a Brilliance
151AX.  Cost some $$$, but I love the space it saves, so much lighter to carry
around.  Sold the clunky old CRT monitor.  "Gamma" has a whole new meaning for
me now.  Colors look more saturated, but white-gray-black scales look very
good, details in shadows, details in highlights.  So good, I  am almost tempted
to stop working on my revision of the Unlimited Light patch....
