Improper analogy.  In this case, there were two people to blame:  the
author, and Rich Salz.  The author improperly packaged the program, and Rich
didn't catch it until a few days after it was posted (by which time, I'm
sure, lots and lots of people had flooded his mailbox).  After grabbing the
"fixed" version, it still would not unpack for me.

So, yes, I blame the cow, and I also blame the milkman.  Why has the author
not responded?

Now, why don't you go back and read *all* of the posts I've made on this
subject?  Or is it too much trouble for you?
