    Tomoki and I have analysed the data independently and compared the results.
    Results are at http://homepage3.nifty.com/yasudank/index.html (mine) and
    http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tmorokuma/study/SN/lc/all/ (Tomoki's).
    Some candidates show 10% difference between our results (my values are fainter)
    but we cannot find out the cause of this difference yet.

    The main improvements of my analysis since last March version are
    (1) Aperture corrections between different dates are correctly measured.
    (2) Errors of flux are measured as rms of the values of the same
        aperture at blank sky.

    These improvements resolve some of the problems you raised (not all).
