This is a flame:
I've never heart of ACS, and neither your article nor the following
three parts of the sources contain any explanation as to what this software is,
until you unpack the whole stuff.
Why can't you people never learn that there are humans out there who
don't know your program, but would like to before deciding wether to
unpack the program or not.
So please: At the start of the first file of a sources contribution:
"What is this stuff:....."
Thanks.
