Re: R1800 / R800 Lyson Curves for Moab Papers

Please don't include the .quad files in your email postings. They
aren't useful for reading by people (most anyway). If you want to
share your curves, zip together your .qidf and .quad files and post
them to the appropriate portion of our files section.
