Well, that does seem odd that you never saw version 1.2 (or presumably 1.3)
since I posted both more than once.  (I think I posted 1.3 three times).
Does anyone out there know why these postings don't end up some places some
of the time?  Do some sites reject articles that are too long?

Also, I ftp'ed hpread 1.3 to gmuvax2.gmu.edu.  It remained in the "new"
directory for some time, but now is gone from new, and is not in hp28,
where I expected it to end up.  Is the person who maintains hp28 at
gmuvax2 out there and listening?

Thanks to Pete Ashdown for posting the source and compiled version of
hpread 1.3.  Pete, could you tell me your experiences with the program?
Also, I will incorporate your indirect suggestion of optionally beeping
upon starting a transfer in the next version (assuming there is one).

I will send a copy of the source directly to Owen Adair, in case not getting
hpread through the newgroup is a consistent problem.
