Apologies for not attaching the reviews.

The attached files are:
cp-2006-0049-2-0-ert.txt:           Editors letter
cp-2006-0049-2-0-rqra3795.txt:     Anonymous review 1
cp-2006-0049-2-0-rqra4304.txt:    Anonymous review 2
cp-2006-0049-2-0-rrf3700.pdf: Review 3 (Gerd Burger)

The last file, cp_response.doc, contains all three reviews imported into a 
word document. Some formatting and punctuation got mangled in the process, so 
please refer to the originals if anything looks strange. 

I've put a few of my first reactions in the cp_response.doc file -- some of 
these might need toning down. 

cheers,
Martin
