However as has pointed out in a few mail messages, I forgot to include
the directories!  They are:
	VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER]*.LISP
	VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER.DOC]*.TEX

Here's some more info:

; This is GeoMeter, which is a Common-Lisp solid modeling and algebraic
; manipulation system written at the GE Research and Development Center and at
; the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.  The motivation behind this system

; algebraically-specified sets.


;       Geometer Jr. is available via anonymous FTP from Internet address
; 128.119.40.1 (UMass), in the directories:

;		VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER]*.LISP
;		VIS$DISK:[GEOMETER.DOC]*.TEX

; The latter contains only documentation.

;       Most, if not all, of the functions and data structures herein are documented
; in the Common Lisp manner, i.e.  using documentation strings.  On Slimebolics and
; Exploder systems, this string is accessible via ctrl-shift-D.  In any case,
; (document 'thing) will return the documentation string.  For details regarding
; algorithms, data structures, and installation, see the Geometer User's Manual
