[edit] Is it available anywhere?

Was it ever published? If yes, does anyone know where or how to get a copy? This should be added to the article, and if it's is not available and/or was never available, that too should be mentioned. Gronky 12:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Source Code? I don't remember. Might have been up for FTP at some point. The FSF tape archive or Prof. Ward migth have a tape in an old format -- could be hard to read. Mag tapes corrupt in several years.
• Referred papers in computer science journals and proceedings? Yes. Google.com or the SEoYC, will turn up some of the citations. Might also be on Steve Ward's pages or the on-line archive of old LCS publications at csail.mit.edu.
