Re: st: New package -xglm- for SSC

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Sorry everybody. The email quoted below was intended for Kit Baum. I 
have now sent it to him in readiness for his return to Boston. In the 
meantime, you have all had a sneak preview of my latest submission to 
SSC (and can of course download it from my website using -findit xglm-).

Best wishes

Roger
