Folks,

The following is offered for what it's worth. The ACTS disk I have
is dated 31 May 1988 and does not include the Sun version. Some time
back I got an update from Judah Levine at NIST which included the
Sun version. Since I use Microsoft C, I modified the code to use
that compiler and also the Sun compiler, then built and tested
both programs successfully. I haven't look at the code or thought
about it since late 1988. I have taken the liberty of stashing the
modified program disk on louie.udel.edu as the files acts.zoo and
acts.arc in two popular PC compressed formats. Should you choose to
snarf either one, please be advised I am not equipped to provide
help and, on Judah's behalf, please don't bug him, either.

It's likely that NIST is distributing newer stuff; if so, somebody
having it might put us straight.

Dave
