      The set mentioned in the title is shown to be equivalent to a set \((a,b,c)\) of integers such that the three expressions \[ 2a^2 +2b^2 -c^2,\;2a^2 -b^2 +2c^2,\;2(a^2b^2 + a^2 c^2 +b^2c^2) -(a^4+ b^4+ c^4) \] are squares. For this the first author has developed a two-parameter family of triples \((a,b,c)\) such that the first two expressions are squares; for the last expression the parameters have to be picked specially.
