Meaning that they aren't freely available. You aren't paying attention. These are NIST documents of the test methods for measuring conformance to IEEE standards. The documents are not, themselves, IEEE standards.

I was calling it from my TET environment for an overall test (I've been working on a FABIO test suite), but I didn't look to see if it made calls back into TET. It doesn't. I guess that's what I get for having run both SVID and NIST/PCTS on the same box. The SVID suite and the X suite require TET; the NIST/PCTS doesn't. > Perhaps it would be good idea to wait until the bits are on the NIST server. Yes. This would clarify the distribution restrictions, etc., which I can only guess at. I'd prefer to have people wait until it's posted so that it can be check into source code control without any question about its status. Sorry for the brouha about TET. 8-(.
