Gratefully acknowledged are also the contributions of Peter Eichelsbacher (Bochum), Giuseppe Mulone (Catania), Stefan Schroer (Dusseldorf, formerly Bayreuth), Bernd Siebert (Freiburg), Jean-Jacques Szczeciniarz (Paris 7, formerly Bordeaux 3). We have to thank many other colleagues who were involved in organising the test and distributing the questionnaire.
