The rampant literalism in this newsgroup is repulsing me.  I mean really,
people, look at it!  

tt=total(a[(((dy=((di=lindgen(((n=nx<ny)),nx+ny-1)))/n))*(nx gt ny?1:nx)+ $
              (nx gt ny?1:-1)*((dx=di mod n))*(nx-1))>0<(nx*ny-1)]* $
           (dy ge dx AND (dy-dx) lt nx>ny),1)

Does it really look like something anyone would ever actually write?!?  I can
see my sarcasm has been utterly wasted on this crowd.
