[seqfan] Re: A002094 from 1875 needs more terms

[Neil Sloane]

Richard, Thanks for figuring out the correct definition!  I have changed
the definition accordingly.

It would be nice to have more terms, even if they were found by direct
enumeration using one
of the methods that Richard suggests - both as a check on Schiff's values,
and in the hope
that given enough terms we could guess a generating function.

Best regards
Neil
