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:

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

84: We use both DMDs and Sun 3's here - could you send us both versions?
