:-) I hope it proves so. It's something to play with in any case.

The approach / form isn't the only possible. I borrowed mostly from 
Wikipedia and my old copy of "The VNR Concise Encyclopedia of 
Mathematics (2nd edition)."

Another approach was used by PM 2RING for his catenary.inc set up 
specifically for chains with definable links. This include might have 
been in the object collection..? My copy of it came by way of a post 
from Thomas a few years ago.
