Thanks. (blushing)
Can that be translated into paying work?

That's because it's written by someone who keeps the matrix-math reference
material very close at hand whenever he's got to actually go under the hood.

Issue 1: should the CLIPPING setting be strictly local to each file, or should
it be persistent between files, especially be pushed downward in the recursive
subfile-referencing process?
Issue 2: What is this CERTIFY statement? That one came out of left field.
Issue 3: Do all files (in the root-file to current-file referencing chain) need
to be certified to allow clipping, or not?
Issue 4: Do we need a WINDING UNKNOWN statement?
Issue 5: Can a superfile disable clipping, overriding a subfile's CLIPPING ON
command?
Those are the ones that jump out at me, I believe Lars and Gary have already
found some others, and I'm counting on Rui to dig out some others. There's at
least a half-dozen regulars reading this who know more the subject than I do,
I'm hoping they'll post either their comments or agreement.
