        !             5: Dear Mr. Bentley,
        !             6: 
        !             7: In a recent edition of the AT&T Technical Report, I read
        !             8: about a collection of tools for algorithm animation developed
        !             9: by Brian Kernighan and yourself.  While I was a student at
        !            10: Moravian College, I attended several of your ACM sponsored
        !            11: lectures and recall your discussion of this work.
        !            12: 
        !            13: I recently acquired a DMD 5620 and am beginning to explore it's
        !            14: capabilities.  I am interested in adding some of these tools to my
        !            15: software toolchest.  I do not have an immediate need for such
        !            16: tools, but I can see situations where knowing how to use them
        !            17: would be helpful. 
        !            18: 
        !            19: The article mentions that source code is available.  Can you
        !            20: give me an idea of how much space is needed, procedures for
        !            21: obtaining, available documentation, etc?
        !            22: 
        !            23: Due to recent security enhancements, you may not be able to
        !            24: communicate with me via electronic mail.  If UNIX mail proves
        !            25: unsuccessful, I can be reached by the following other ways:
