In the above messages, references are made to the infamous "ACK"
package.  Is there another group that regularly posts information
about this package. Its front ends? back ends?  I have to field 
questions daily about ACK around here, and I would sure like to
know if there others who know more than I.

Incidentally, the ACK back-end for Minix contains run-time routines
that are very different from the ones that are supplied with Minix.
Do I have radically different versions of the two? or are the
differences more than cosmetic?

I remain, Your most humble pupil in these and other matters,
