Thanks for giving us early access to this.  Very nice article.  I
particularly like the range of examples you have included.  They are
comprehensive (both the languages illustrated and the types of problems)
and each is nicely self-contained.  I am a little surprised at the
choice of journal, mind you...  but best of luck in your submission!
Send us the citation information when it comes out as I'm sure I'll have
plenty of occasions to cite it (e.g. the paper I am currently writing
relies strongly on org for the generation of results from octave code
embedded in the document...).
