[Roberto Prieto]

Hi again David,

well, you have given me a lot of stuff :), I have downloaded all but as you 
said, that special version 0.71 is not available, so please,
could you send me a copy of it? Im looking for to compare all trees to see 
what is the most stable.

Thanks you very much in advance!!!
