Red Hat Software applauds the move, and has obtained the suites for consideration. We would encourage all Linux developers to take advantage of this development. Comments and questions can be directed to Martha Gray at NIST. I don't have time to pursue this, but thought someone else might want to look at it. -- Christopher J.
