Subject: Errors in positional testsuite

Some time ago I downloaded a testsuite
of 45 positions, starting with

r3r1k1/1p3nqp/2pp4/p4p2/Pn3P1Q/2N4P/1PPR2P1/3R1BK1 w - - bm Ne2 g4 Bd3 Rxd6 Re1
Qh5 Kh2 Be2; c0 "Pos (01) - CCC-III"; c1 "10 6 5 2 2 1 1 1"; id "Pos(01)";

I think it was named a 'positional testsuite'
since it had the filename posSuite.epd on my
computer, but I cannot remember any further details.
I just found that, as far as I
know, the positions 23 and 45
contain the same error. Since in these positions
there is no black rook on A8, the castling
rights cannot be kq, so I think kq should
be replaced with k on the following two lines:

1r1qk2r/5pbp/p1np2b1/4p3/1pP5/3BB3/PPN2PPP/R2Q1RK1 w kq - bm f4 Bxg6 Rb1 f3 Re1
Qf3; c0 "Pos (23) - CCC-III"; c1 "10 8 5 2 2 2"; id "Pos(23)";

2rqkb1r/3n1p1p/p3p1pn/1p1pP1N1/5P2/2N5/PPP3PP/R1BQ1R1K w kq - bm f5 Ne2 g4 a4
Qd3; c0 "Pos (45) - CCC-III"; c1 "10 6 6 6 5"; id "Pos(45)";

Does anyone know who distributed this testsuite, so I can
contact him or her directly?
