Marty, if I'm not mistaken, your first two steps are enough to solve it. |

You may very well be right; I've been known to make my share--and then some--of errors.    |

				Think of it not as an error, but as an abundance of solution.  I only meant to point out that you had a fine 2-stepper.     |

				It can actually be solved in one step:
 
(9=3)r9c3 - (3)r9c4 = (1)r9c4 - (1=6)r7c4 - (6=9)r7c8 => r7c123<>9, r9c78<>9 |
