WCSAC as a book is just full of errors. if you >want to spend your time debugging it, fine. if you want to spend your time >debugging your program, use WACnew (for weak programs only) or ECMGCP. A debugged WCSAC will be useful for many, including myself. Also, I feel a little bit of personal responsibility here: I would have extensively debugged WCSAC and several others had I had the resources years ago when I first made the EPD test suites available on the net.
