The 1.3 disks from P-H are the final one in the series 1.3a, 1.3b, etc.
The first preliminary one was 1.3a, then 1.3b, etc.  I forget how far we got,
but the P-H 1.3 corresponds to the final posting to the net and is the base
against which I will post all future cdiffs (e.g., 1.4b and eventually, 2.0).

P.S. I finally got my set from P-H today (at least for the AT).  They
changed the box, but otherwise everything seems ok.  I also checked the
update kit I got from them last week, and it also seems ok.
