Thank you for the offer. Do you have access to binary groups? 
The file is only 20K and I like to maintain an illusion in 
Usenet anonymity even with helpful people like you.

It's a very normal-looking but slightly strange personal site, 
obviously by someone very knowledgeable and with 20-30 years' 
experience, but full of things which are barely even of 
anecdotal interest, and with no guide to exploring or finding 
what you need in the immense archive section - and a fair bit of 
personal (whose is another matter... ;-] ) info left in /some/ 
of the (obviously saved after being used) program files in the 
archives.
