I don't recall what I used at the time, either. It's been at least 30
years. But I have my notes from that presentation, and I will dig
them up when I can get to them. Right now the notes and several other
works on the subject are buried in boxes moved from my office at
school when I retired.

I also recall a couple of other references to the 1919 data not being
definitive. If memory serves (and it may not, this book is also
buried) Clifford Will's book Was Einstein Right? asserts that the
1919 data left something to be desired.

Never ask someone what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they
will tell you. If not, why embarrass them?
