In reviewing the ATK survey data, it if difficult to estimate the total number. Certain sites (notably CMU and MIT) have made it available to large numbers of students (~ 4000 each), but there is no easy way to know how many of them are actually using it, though the number at CMU is probably respectable . Dartmouth has reported 500 users and the University of Nebraska has reported 100. A couple of companies have users in the hundreds, while most of the four dozen sites that responded each have from 2 - 30 researchers playing with it. I also know of at least one commercial product based on ATK that easily accounts for thousands of more users, though probably none of them know they are using ATK.
