I could probably write something that would divide the data set into two
parts, one with the block 4 chunks and one without.   Then they could be
concatonated during data reduction.   I don't have any code that will do
that right now.   I could write something to do it - it would probably
take at least a day to do it.   Did reading it into MIR work (slowly), or
did the readdata eventually die?
