We obtained the programs from Dr. Leonard S. Lerman directly. This is 
probably the best approach as the software is continually evolving. The 
person who actually sent us the software was:

	William Fripp
	Scientific Systems Programmer
	Massachusetts Institute of Technology
	77 Massachusetts Avenue
	Cambridge, MA  02139-4307
	(617)258-8779

The programs work as promised but are not especially "user friendly".


Cheers,
Jim
