[seqfan] Re: Question about A005493

[Neil Sloane]

The defn of A5493 was originally that its exponential generating function
is E.g.f.: exp(exp(x) + 2*x - 1).

The present defn. is less technical, that's why it was changed.  But I
don't want to change the numbers, nor the offset.

Best regards
Neil
