Thanks, Stephanie.

I am not sure how often things gets updated, but a statement to this 
effect in the GWASdata documentation  would be useful.

I am just using the data to learn how to use GWAStools, as well. But 
using both sets of data together seemed "obvious" and that is how I ran 
into trouble.
