How to obtain a copy:

The documentation, program and source code are now in the public domain.
Copy, modify, distribute and be happy.
2) Anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50)
You may want to ftp the README file(s) to determine which files to transfer to
your home machine.
For the PC version, you have your choice of tar files which contain the
documentation, the programs and supporting files. For each tar file, there is
also a compressed tar file with the same contents. After the files are
extracted from the tar file, some transfer method (e.g. kermit, NCSA Telnet)
should be used to download the files to the PC. The documentation is
available in line printer format and Macintosh Microsoft Word format.
Remember to download .EXE files in binary mode.
The Macintosh version consists of several files encoded with Stuff-It. The
BinHex (.HQX) version is a duplicate copy for those who need a non-binary
distribution. Download the selections you need with a binary transfer method
(kermit, NCSA Telnet) and extract the individual files. The documentation is
in Microsoft Word 3.X format.
3) Diskette or Tape
On-disk copies and printed manuals are available for a small fee which covers
materials, handling and postage. The anonymous FTP tape covers the contents
of all disks. Orders can only be accepted if accompanied by a check in U.S.
dollars made out to the University of Illinois. You can get an order form by
