I'm not sure if it is available at simtel20.arpa, but if you have ftp access, you can get it from my machine at temasek.ece.orst.edu [128.193.48.123] via anonymous ftp from the /pub directory. There should be only one file there. Enjoy. ---- Harish Pillay harish@ece.orst.edu Oregon State University
