The other contributors to the code have no say in things anyway - they being Regents Of UCB and the code being used in accordance with the berkeley license. I'd wait till I send an announcement for the next release before you go fetch int now sunacm is back on the net. The new release has documentation (of sorts), and usable utilities. In fact WAMPES is now only used on my system as a debugger 8-).

I assume the original author(s) of the software had something to do with this. Twice I have sent you mail asking about it, and I haven't gotten an answer. Since you don't seem the type to do ignore people's mail, I assume you're under duress.
