One such set of programs (partly by me) is available for anonymous FTP from host mimsy.umd.edu (128.8.128.8 for those of you who are, tsk tsk, not running a name server) as the compressed tar file pub/unify_uids.tar.Z Please limit FTP access to off-peak east coast hours (i.e., try to stay off during the 8AM--6PM E[SD]T). -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Lawrence Berkeley Lab EE div (+1 415 486 5427) Berkeley, CA Domain: torek@ee.lbl.gov
