"Flowers for Algernon" was written by Daniel Keyes.  The story has
been published in several anthologies, I have it in:
	*The Hugo Winners: volumes 1 & 2*
		edited by Isaac Asimov
	*Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Treasury*
		edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin Greenberg and Joseph Olander
	*The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, volume 1*
		edited by Robert Silverberg

It won a Hugo in 1961 in the "short fiction" category.  I have heard
that a longer version was published, but I have never seen it.
(Actually, I probably have not checked the three versions I have
to see if they are the same length.)  Does anyone know about a
longer version?  Was it published, is it widely available?
