  Please, if any of you make changes, send them to me, so I can 
incorporate them into the main distribution and other people can utilize 
them (unless, I guess, you don't want others to use it :-)).  I 
had little trouble with the latest version (1.02) on the only apollo 
system I had access to (9.7, I think); notes I had are in the 
distribution file README.apollo.  I don't know of major changes to apollo
OS in 10.x that would require anything else major, but I'd be happy to
discuss further modifications to all of you apollo-ites.  Version 1.02
is available via anon-ftp at cert.sei.cmu.edu, ~ftp/pub/cops/1.02; I'd
like to hear of troubles that people have, or, as I said, modifications
made.

  As Willem Jan Withagen says, however, since Apollo's are significantly
different than real unix's, the results aren't as comforting as they
could be, since the tests are geared towards a generic unix, but even
if you only check passwords, you're way ahead, IMHO.
