Many readers might already have checked it out long ago, the essay in
question being over 5 years old. (The warning that SHAXICON occupies a
hard-disk busting 80+ megs now seems so quaint.)
In 1994-6 the fuss about SHAXICON and its application to the 'Funeral
Elegy' attribution was tolerable because Foster promised that very soon
we'd all be able to check his work by using SHAXICON for ourselves.
Since then there's been nothing and in the absence of the thing itself
one is led to conclude that the whole story was puff.

Even without Don Foster's computer model I thought this one was fairly
obvious. Consider "bending author" in the Epilogue.
I think there is also a good chance the Epilogue in 1HIV was presented
by Shakespeare.
