This is the anonymous ftp collection for the Information Mechanics
Group of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. You will find
documentation and software for CAM6 and CAM8 here as well as papers
of interest written by people from the group and others. The poc
directory contains papers from a number of Physics of Computation
Seminars hosted by this group.

* This software is most usefull to you if you already have a CAM8 *
* and need upgrades to the system as they come out. At this time *
* we make no promises about the software but are willing to help a *
* bit if you can't get it to work. *
* *
* The directory structure has been reorganized a bit. Under the *
* directory /cam8 there are a number of distributions of the CAM8 *
* software arranged by date. You will find a compressed tar file *
* that contains all of the software as well as compressed tar files *
* for the individual pieces. Also there are subdirectories w/ the *
* untarred files. *
