Hi Keith,

Phil asked me to access Mann's MBH98 predictors from the ftp server in 
Virginia.

Apparently there are 159. However, with no guidance I'm unable to 
identify a set of 159 data series from the thousands of files in the 
'MBH98' directory structure.

Furthermore, attempts to download the entire directory hierarchy for 
examination (it's only about 20Mb in total) have been fraught with 
failures - 3 hours on Wednesday afternoon and all this morning, and 
still incomplete.

If Steve McIntyre's having the same difficulties, no wonder he's pissed 
off!

Anyway I should have a complete file listing this afternoon; we can 
look over it then and hopefully identify the predictors.

By the way - what does this have to do with HOLSMEER? *grin*

Cheers

Harry
