Software for pressuremeter data reduction

What software is available for pressuremeter test field data reduction?

The only program (as of last year) was PRESRED, which is a dinosaur BASIC program from the late '80s. I use it out of necessity, but have also developed a spreadsheet which I use. PRESRED is freeware, I believe, but I couldn't find a download site.

I talked to Dr. Briaud at A&M last year about the possibility of a new program.....nothing is in the works right now, but he would expressed interest in putting one together. I don't have enough programming knowledge to attempt such a thing though.

I'll track down my copy of presred, and make sure it is distributable. I could email it to you if it is.

BigRedGeo and Focht3:
BigRedGeo,
Thanks for your replies. I've got PRESRED, and its a dinosaur like you said. Thanks for your offer to email it. By the way, how does one exchange email addresses on this forum?

Focht3,
I agree with your belief on other program non-existence, but still is hard to believe.

I asked the question, because of the ability of this forum to provide info on questions of this kind.
