The ASCII version contains an eexec portion, which when decoded, has
some 8-bit-wide characters.  I presume this is one of the reasons the
eexec was used.  However, since the eexec algorithm has been publicly
"cracked" (see my message in comp.lang.postscript,comp.emacs from a
few months ago), I will provide to anyone a uuencoded version of the
unencrypted version of that part of the text if they send me mail.
(I'll also provide my GNU Emacs eexec encode/decode routines at no
extra charge.)

Just another GNU Emacs user,
