I have had no replies to my earlier request for information about the
PC package PCfit for fitting probability distributions.   The person
who wants the information has now told me a little more about it.
Firstly, it is/was public domain.   The author - Dr. William P. Smith
was in the Statistical Policy Branch of the US Office of Standards &
Regulations.   The READ.ME file was dated 29 May 1985.   He appears to
have moved since then.   The package fits 11 continuous distributions
including beta, Weibull, truncated normal/log-normal, extreme-value.

We would like to find out if there is a more recent version, and how we
obtain it.
Thanks.
