Edition
WHAT'S NEW:
July 3, 1999
New programs tested this month:
AKT32 0.62b | ARJ32 3.01b | COOLZIP 1.01 |

The next ACT will be released at the beginning of September, 1999, after which I hope to get back on the monthly release schedule.
Note: There was a bug in RKUC 1.03 that prevented it from decompressing properly in some cases and thus the 'N/A' results. The author has found the bug but it was not available in time to retest the fixed version. Decompression time is about the same as compression time.
I will be at a conference next week in Las Vegas and will probably be taking the last week in July off for vacation so don't be surprised if I don't reply to my e-mail right away.

This is a new section to ACT 2.0 that will keep you informed of what is going on. This page will be updated more often than the other ACT pages.
I have also put up the start of the new INDEX page. I have only had time to include some entries but I will be adding the rest eventually.
With the nice weather in Canada during the summer, it is a very busy time for me since I like to spend a lot of my free time outside or doing other recreational activities with my girlfriend and friends. This is why there was no April ACT, I just didn't have the time. Over the summer, ACT will probably only be published every other month so expect the next release in July. If I do for some reason have extra time I will try to put out a release more often but don't count on it. When September rolls around, things should be back on schedule again.
