It took me quite a while to track down the CARL distribution stuff; here's
what I found out.  Quotes are from their 11/28/84 announcement letter.

"Another revision of the Computer Audio Research Laboratory (CARL) software
distribution tape is now available.  It contains over 115 programs and
libraries for research and production in digital audio and computer music.
As in the past, the software is distributed free of charge, and is in the
public domain.

"The programs are for signal processing, sound synthesis/analysis... 
developed... using a VAX11/780, running the Berkeley 4.1c Distribution... 
operating system.

The tape costs $100.  First get a "Software Distribution Agreement" from

    Ms. Susan Blakney, Administrative Assistant
    Center for Music Experiment, Q-037
    U.C.S.D.
    La Jolla, CA  92093

We haven't had much time to work with the software yet -- we're in the middle
of a software release!  Our intention is to port the software to Apollo systems
to our C compiler, 4.2 port, and a homebrew Multibus DAC board.  Also, an
obvious extension is to distribute the computation where possible throughout
our corporate ring.

Someone at CARL who seems willing to answer questions is
    "sdcarl!rusty"@berkeley.arpa

They apparently don't have a public-access mailing list for distribution,
surprisingly.  I'll set one up if there's interest.
