# Letter from Hugh Howie

Here is QUANDEX. I have decided to let it go as is. It is up to date to the end of Volume 9 and I seem to be going round in circles trying to improve the program. I think it better to let things stand as they are than to exercise my frustration on something which has taken up so much of my time. In this version there are some changes to the program and also a lot of data additions from the last version I sent around. Please use this one and delete the previous one.
