Subject: Manual for HPDJ Driver is bad (???)

I am having problems with the manual for the HPDJ public-domain
DeskJet driver.  I have downloaded it from two different archives:
sumex and rascal (? - address 128.83.144.1) and the problem is the 
same.  The file cannot be opened by any application.  I checked with
ResEdit and the file has a Type and Creator of "nX^D".  I can
change the type to TEXT and the creator to MSWD and then open the
file with WORD.  However, the resulting file has a bunch of garbage
and only a small amount of readable text.  

Since the file is the same at both archives, I am assuming it got
downloaded this way from its creators.  Either that or I am
missing out on something.  Has anyone had any luck getting this file
recently?  On sumex it is /info-mac/util/deskjet-driver-manual.hqx.
On rascal it is /mac/printing-support/HPDJ_Manual.pit.bin.  I converted
the sumex file with BinHex then Unpit.  The rascal file must be ftp'd 
to a unix host, then downloaded with MacBinary Kermit, then run through
Unpit.

If anyone knows of something I'm doing wrong, please let me know.  
I'd also settle for someone e-mailing me a 'good' copy of this file
if they have one.  

Thanks.
