Best, Tom Harwood From: Tom Harwood <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 5:02 AM To: Alex Harui <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Your current problem with JBurg generated code Hi Alex, I can confirm that I did not copy any code or pseudocode from the iburg implementation -- in fact I intentionally did not even look at the iburg code. I did of course read the paper I referenced, but I did not copy pseudocode from that paper, nor for that matter did I follow the paper's description of its algorithms in detail; I used it more as a guide, and as far as I recall work I did almost twenty years ago, JBurg's internal algorithms differ significantly from those developed by Messrs. Fraser, Hanon, and Proebsting. Best, TH
