- SPIN is listed in the book "Design and Validation of Computer Protocols"
- (or something similar) from Prentice-Hall by an author (Holzman?) from
- Bell Labs. If you don't want to type it all in, the AT&T Toolchest will
- license an electronic copy to you for $300. (I think that is
- outrageous, by the way, even though my client bought a copy. Other
- software books sell their source code on disk for $25 or so.)
-
- If you can FTP it from anywhere, it is probably an illegal copy. I
- suppose if you bought the book, you could type it in an share it with
- others who had bought the book, but that is a legal question.
-
- But if you find it for anon FTP, please let me know. :-)
