	A couple of people asked about the Trojan Asteroids.

The leading (l-4 point) Greeks:
Achilles, Hector (the Trojan spy), Nestor, Agamemnon, Odysseus,
Ajax, Diomedes.

The trailing (l-5 ) group:
	Patroclus (the Greek spy), Priamus, Anaeas, Anchises,
Troilus

They do tend to wander a bit, and some are highly inclined
(Troilus is 33.7 degrees), but they're all pretty well
co-orbital with Jupiter (inclined 1.33).  Eccentricities
(relative to Sun) vary from .024 to .148; for comparison,
Jupiter eccentricity is .048
