C programs

Below are some C programs we have written for various purposes. Most are just plain text files but apparently Harvard's OpenScholar does not support a ".c" file type, so they are zipped; ones with multiple files are tarred and gzipped. Feel free to use these programs for whatever purposes you want and to modify them to suit your needs. We have checked them very thoroughly for bugs, but there may still be some. We would appreciate hearing about any you do find. Of course, we can't guarantee these will work for you and we especially can't be held responsible if any of these fail after adaptation to other purposes. Still, we would be happy to assist in getting these programs to work for you. If you use any of these in preparing a publication, please cite the appropriate paper.
