[seqfan] Re: Sequence needing more terms, A6156, squarefree ternary words

[Neil Sloane]

Concerning A006156, thanks to everyone who responded.
I've added Hans's b-file.
Ron, could you enter the triangle T(n,k) when you reach a stopping point,
and a second triangle giving the coefficients of
the polynomials that generate the rows (even if they are
only empirical)?
Also the columns giving the number of squarefree words
over alphabets of sizes 4, 5, 6, ... (assuming they aren't already
in the OEIS)

Thanks!

Neil
