Re: [jdepend] Misleading explanation for Instability

Hi Rob,

> Drop the (Ce) or change the second parenthesis to (Ce + Ca).
> Add a final phrase " giving I = Ce / (Ce + Ca)"

Thanks for catching this. It's been misleading for a couple years now
and nobody has seemed to have caught it. Or maybe they did but didn't
want to let me know. :-)

It now reads:

"The ratio of efferent coupling (Ce) to total coupling
(Ce + Ca) such that I = Ce / (Ce + Ca)."

Thanks!

Regards,

Mike
