As several people have asked me how to get the Ptolemy software on
tape, I think a posting to the net is necessary.   Here is the 
complete description of how to get Ptolemy on tape or via FTP.  

Note that even if you receive the program via FTP, you may still
want to order a copy of the printed documentation (see below).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ptolemy is available *without* support for no charge to organizations 
on the Internet via FTP.  The procedure for obtaining Ptolemy via FTP 
is as follows:

1.   FTP to Internet host "forney.Berkeley.EDU"
     (128.32.240.77).  Login as "anonymous"; no password is
     needed.  Get the shell archive "ptolemy-license.shar".

2.   The "ptolemy-license.shar" file is a bundle of several
     different files and includes instructions on how to
     unbundle them.  Follow these instructions and sign and
     return the enclosed license agreements.

3.   When we receive your signed license agreements, we will
     contact you to give you an account and password that
     will allow you to FTP the actual Ptolemy software.

Organizations without Internet FTP capability can obtain Ptolemy
without support from:

        EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program Office
        Software Distribution
        479 Cory Hall
        University of California, Berkeley
        Berkeley, CA 94720
        Attn: Cindy Manly-Fields
        (510) 643-6687

This includes printed documentation, including installation
instructions, a user's guide, and manual pages.  A handling fee (on
the order of $250) will be charged.  

Documentation:
The printed documentation is available separately for ~$30.00 from 
the ILP office at the above address.  Please contact them for the 
exact fee.  Even users who receive Ptolemy via FTP should consider 
ordering the printed documentation as the bound, double-sided volume 
is worth the small fee.
