Hi Jonathan,
I believe I contributed this on behalf of Rick. I've checked my
own archives of this data and still have the original *.tar.gz file
I bundled back in 1992 of this tree. It is 63Kb in this form.
I would be happy to uuencode/attach it and mail it to you if you wish.
Yes, I just took a look at the PUPS archive and indeed this file
has been damaged. I'm happy to see the copy I have elsewhere is
still okay.
Warren, how shall I pass you this tar bundle for a refresh on the
PUPS archive for this?
Cheers,
-- Ken
