....  [Kenn may have confused revolutions per track with interleave]
  

Kenn: Please post this newer version of spintest with the moderator.

Leonard: Please email me on method of converting revolutions per
         track to interleave ratio (unless you have other requests,
         in which case post to c.b.i.p.d.)
