This discussion makes me remember discussions of 'smart bullets' in certain
SF anthologies edited by Jerry Pournelle. Seems to me that perhaps we might
consider whether a short-range, somewhat maneuverable, IR missilette, that
could be loaded in lots in drums and fired out a 'gun-port', but run under
their own power at dogfight ranges, would be practical, and if so, how it
compares with the arguments of the two schools of thought.

To subscribe to skunk-works-digest, send the command:

    subscribe skunk-works-digest

in the body of a message to "majordomo@mail.orst.edu".  If you want
to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming from,
such as a local redistribution list, then append that address to the
"subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-skunk-works":

    subscribe skunk-works-digest local-skunk-works@your.domain.net

To unsubscribe, send mail to the same address, with the command:

	unsubscribe skunk-works-digest

in the body.

Administrative requests, problems, and other non-list mail can be sent
to either "skunk-works-digest-owner@mail.orst.edu" or, if you
don't like to type a lot, "prm@mail.orst.edu

A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to
subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "skunk-works-digest"
in the commands above with "skunk-works".

Back issues are available for anonymous FTP from mail.orst.edu, in
/pub/skunk-works/digest/vNN.nMMM (where "NN" is the volume number, and "MMM"
