Send Macintosh-related comments and questions to me (sirkm@ssyx.ucsc.edu).

I checked the permissions, and both files (along with the directory they
are sitting in) are publicly readable.  Just to make sure, I logged on

and successfully pulled off both XCMD stacks.

All I can say is try again; I have no idea what went wrong.
