Or you may want the generalisation to nmeans>2 and df 
different from 100 (= df of estimate of common variance)

The studentised range divides by the (assumed common) SE of the 
means, while the equivalent t-statistic divides by the SED; hence 
the sqrt(2).  If the SEDs are somewhat unequal, it may not be
too bad to calculate:

ptukey(t*sqrt(2), nmeans,df,lower.tail=F)

where t is the largest of the pairwise t-statistics.
[But one must not call it t!]
