The total set of source code that was submitted on microfiche
with the application for U.S. patent 6,757,699 is now available here on-line. To access the
source code, read this page and then the next three pages. The options at the bottom
of the personal license page give you access to the source code.
The source code includes all the detail of fragmentation, cascading,
reconstitution, etc. The lack of interface (other than a DOS command line) in the source code is
deliberate; it should ease portability. The language is C++ throughout. Skilled programmers will
recognize rather quickly that it is really C language code run through a C++ compiler for greater
error control. This is not particularly elegant, but it achieves the underlying goal of efficiency
rather nicely.
We hope that you find the source code sufficiently documented. Your
comments would be appreciated, particularly on ways in which we can improve the documentation.
If there is demand for training at the technical level, Franciscan University of Steubenville will
consider offering mini-courses through video-conferencing.
