[Users] Kranc and xAct

[Comer Duncan]

Ian,

Thanks for your note. I am still having trouble with the .m file and so am
not needing the xAct way just yet. This is becoming more and more
frustrating as I try to get the .m file in a shape more along your Weyl4
example.  I am not wanting to whine to the list as I think that is a big
waste of people's time.  I do like the kranc approach and am convinced of
its demonstrated utility relative to having to construct thorns from
scratch. Sorry for bothering you and Eloisa about this.  I do appreciate
your help and do understand that your can't perform miracles...

Best regards,

Comer
