There have been significant changes since a year ago.  There was no
modelgen then, and some files have moved.  Looking to the future, IBIS
will be a separate module, too., and I am thinking about breaking out
the ap* files as a library.  I use them for everything.


For an amusing flash from the past ....

I remember one with an old C version of ACS.  (0.13?????)  After Manu
sent it to me, I fired up the old NeXT, which I was using as the
development system back then, and tried to compile it.  It didn't
work, and I couldn't figure out why.  Old version of the compiler. 
Old version of autoconf.  Etc.....  It worked great on the new Linux
system.

Another issue is totally bizarre systems like Windoze.  As much as I
dislike it, I know that it must be able to run there.  Probably the
best way to make it run there is with the Gnu tools, but just try to
convince a Windoze lover of that!

Anyway, I am beginning to see it.
