[tech-3d] Re: "ortho" digression

[abram.klooswyk@xxxxxx]

Yes, Bruce, "tautomorphic" is another term from the ISU 
glossary wich has a long history, but I didn't want to 
digress too much (this time, that is ...).

John Toeppen on "orthoscopic":

Quite possibly map makers also have used the term, but the 
dictionary term _does_ mean elimination of the curvature of 
field, I didn't quote all of the definitions :-).
Also, many web sites refer to the use in optics of the term.
