Nov 2002 Human Genome Project, Chromosome Number 09 [19hgpxxa.xxx]3509 and thus I missed unzipping 09hgp10a, which I have also corrected. Index Listings and Comments for the New Files We have a total of 19 new files for you to download this week. This would yield a total of 988 Etexts per year. So far we are averaging a few under 19.25 per week, which is what we would need to do 1,000 books this year, but we did have that one great month in which we did 137, so we might just make it. . . .
