The cosi package is written in C and is available as a tar file, cosi_package.tar. The code can be extracted from the tar file with the command "tar xfp cosi_package.tar". Code is contained in three subdirectories: cosi/, cosi_rand/ and recomap. Two working examples are included in the examples/ subdirectory. The code compiles under gcc (with or without the -ansi flag) and is known to run on several platforms (alpha, Mac OS-X, linux). Invoking "make" in the top-level directory should compile and link the executables.
