libcci.a - routines used by uak

The uak utilities were written by Kurt Carlson at the University of Alaska and the Arctic Region Super Computing Center. There are periodic updates and corrections to this software, it is provided "as is". Except as stated the software has been in production use on Tru64/OSF1/Digital Unix (v3.2g-v4.0d), SGI Irix (6.2-6.5), Cray Unicos (10.0) and Unicos/mk (2.0.5+) and Unicos/MP (2.1-3.0) and CLE 2-4, NEC SuperUX (12.1), Solaris (SunOS 5.8, 5.10), Linux (various: SLES 10-11, RHEL 5 through 8, ...), AIX (4.3-5.3), Mac OSX (Darwin), and cygwin (Windows). The libcci routines pre-date UNIX and were used on both Vax/VMS and IBM/MVS.
