XRCF Phase 1 Testing: Analysis Results


Please Note!

The documents reflect the current (and in many ways final) state of the analysis. They were regenerated from the original document source on 10 May 2004. Unless indicated in the table below, the only changes are due to formatting. No content has been changed. The page layout for individual chapters may have changed from previous versions.

The chapters are dated with the date of the last substantive change. When they are released, any change will result in a change in the date.

Chapters which are not considered finished have an accompanying note, which should be read first. Please send any comments or updates to Diab Jerius.


The entire report is available in a single PDF file as either one page per side of paper, or two pages per side of paper. These files are ~30Mb in size. The document is 742 pages long.

Alternatively, PDF files for each chapter are available. Consult the table below for links.
