   I've made a dual slope pulse width magnifier with them, 20-30ns to   
   20-30 us. I noted that temperature had a horrific influence during   
   the first slope that was _exactly_ corrected for in the second slope.   
      
   One of the precious moments when you note that you were REALLY lucky!   
   (repeatable 5 ps performance over temp)
