        Very Fast Simulated Reannealing (VFSR) via Ftp or Email
 
My previous announcement did not specify the use of ftp, and
many people unfamiliar with the use of NETLIB and STATLIB were
understandably confused.  This announcement is to remedy that problem.
 
                STATLIB: vfsr v6.30
Interactive:
        ftp lib.stat.cmu.edu
        [login as statlib, your_login_name as password]
        cd general
        get vfsr
Email:
        mail statlib at lib.stat.cmu.edu
        send vfsr from general
 
                NETLIB: vfsr v6.25
Interactive:
        ftp research.att.com
        [login as netlib, your_login_name as password]
        cd opt
        binary
        get vfsr.Z
Email:
        mail netlib at research.att.com
        send vfsr from opt
 
                PATCH: vfsr-diff-6.25-6.30.Z.uu
If you already have vfsr v6.25 from NETLIB, this can be updated using
a patch I'd be glad to send on request.
        strip out text between CUT HERE lines, save to savefile
        uudecode savefile
        uncompress vfsr-diff-6.25-6.30.Z
        mv vfsr-diff-6.25-6.30 VFSR ; cd VFSR
        patch -p1 < vfsr-diff-6.25-6.30
 
v6.30 fixes a bug encountered for negative cost functions, and adds
some printout to make your bug reports and comments easier to decifer.
