True - it's easy to forget what an achievement nos is. Now I've got it

Have a look at news headers from Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi when they 
post. They are using it but they daren't release it before it is fully 
debugged because ... I don't have to go on.

In contrast a new beta release of cixread has been posted for cix atarians

to be positive and helpful. Please, please don't take this the wrong 
way; I don't want to cause offence - just to try and get you to have a 
bit more faith in people who are doing their very best and deserve 
encouragement.

Best wishes
