                      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:

                     46: on forte, I could ftp it to our SUNs at ALC. Thanks.

                     80: I just read in the AT&T Tech Report that you're distributing anim.
                     81: I heard your usenix talk in Atlanta - the technique sounds appealing.
                     82: I'd like to use it to simulate various algorithms for a new object-oriented
                     83: file system.
                     84: We use both DMDs and Sun 3's here - could you send us both versions?
