Rig Veda Question

I have been working on a reconstruction of an--apparently--anonymous Rig
Veda in electronic form, found in the RLIN (attributed to a Robert
Kahn/Khan-- if anyone knows of him), and have a question re. the
following viz parishishhTham.h:
These are
apparently later additions - from the nature of the language - I can
make sens out of most (:-)! One of these is the so-called
shriisuuktam.h. At the end of 10, there is a long parishishhTham.h
also.
Apparently, however, the e-text I am using does not include all of
these. In the interests of editing, answers to the following would be of
great help. Our goal is to provide a downloadable e-RV sometime soon in
ITRANS form, with--hopefully pending some joiner-inners as
proofreaders--a devanagari version with accents in a few months.
Could anyone please offer a brief thumbnail as to the nature of these
components and their relative place in the text: temporally,
authoritatively, and syntactically.
If this is not a question of general interest to the list, please direct
your replies to me directly. I also welcome any reports on the
mysterious origin of the text if the names above ring a bell with anyone.
Thank you in advance,
