The data file that documents a verification of Conjecture 6.1 in the paper for all fields with less than 1013 elements and the data file that documents a verification of Conjecture 6.2 in the paper for all moduli tn-1 with tn less than 3*109 (along with summary files that describe how to read the data files) are found in the data directory. An overall description of the contents is in the readme.txt instructions.
