I put all SAX documentation (Announcement of Opportunity, Handbook, 
and other README and postscript files) in 
/data/rdata/sax/doc
Response matrices and background files to simulate SAX spectral observations
are in 
/data/rdata/sax/cal
A new version of pimms (PIMMS2) to calculate SAX count rates is in
/data/rdata/sax/software/pimms2

let me know if you have problems with any of these files.
