Igor,

Here is four tables for calculating MB and giving sigma.
If you have some problem, give me the Bender table you already have and 
I could
put the sigma value in it. If you send the IDL script for the Fig4, I 
could do
the Faber-Jackson plot plus the new Fig 4.
Let me know what do you prefer.
Good Night.
