As someone else (thanks, someone; I've forgotten your name) indicated, you
should ftp to cu20b.columbia.edu as anonymous, then change directories to
"ker:" -- the colon is part of the name.  The directory is quite large;
MSDOS stuff all (or mostly) starts with msk, as in msk*
I successfully got documentation this way about a week ago, and if I knew
which files to get and what format they're in, I'd try for the v2.29c
program, which is apparently the most recent version (but v2.29b works too).
