Acme (Alef version) is in 2ed; the single-floppy version doesn't seem to
have the binary. Looking at the screenshot that Will sent me directly, the
dates on the binaries match up to 2ed release.

I'm pretty sure the four-floppy set that came with the CDROM has the acme
binary. I don't have any floppy drives that I trust to look at my copy.
