Excuse my ignorance, but I think that when you post a thing like that, the
least you can do is to indicate how to use the it! I'm thinking of
something like the standard header that the 'shar' routines add. It doesn't
cost a lot extra, and new users like ourselves don't have to ask obvious
questions. Anybody got an opinion on this?

PS. I would really appreciate an explanation of this 'face of Mars' thing.
