Abstract
The commenter points out an error made in the paper by P. Nain et al. (see ibid., vol.36, p.806-15, July 1988) and shows that correcting this error requires a state space that has an exponential size. The authors reply that the errors cannot easily be corrected and that their model provides a good approximation model for HYMAP.<>
