Several people have reported problems in compiling the programs due to
oversights on my part. I believe that those problems have been fixed.
Another person reported some problem downloading the programs. They
are available via anonymous ftp from the machine
"uvaarpa.virginia.edu", also known as "virginia.edu" and
"128.143.2.7". FTP in as anonymous using your email address as the
password.
Keep those cards and letters coming. (If you have problems, an email
message is more likely to get a prompt response than a newsgroup
posting).
