- Well, actually, the problem wasn't obtaining the files, but getting
- them down and running on the PRO. The PRO had almost nor software at
- all, so I could not get a de-hexifier program to run. After much
- fiddling, I managed to write a new de-hexifier program for the PRO.
- I'll probably submit it to columbia...

- Thanks anyway.
