Good news and bad news: The files wdb.1 and wdb.2 (I think they're the ones,
they might be .4 and .5) are available for ftp from ab20 (128.155.23.64)
in amiga/graphics/images (or thereabouts)

Unfortunately, the .lzh file is corrupted.... badly.....I got the file
over here, unlharced it and *bleah*. I then tried 'quote stat' (or is 
it 'xcat') to look at it in situ @ab20 and it gave me identical garbage. 

So a plea: Could the person who put it up there please try again ?

And to Tad Guy @ab20 : I sent a mail message to ftp@ab20 suggesting that you
could delete it - but no response/action. Did you ever get it ? Anyway,
as you're gonna do some mighty cleaning there - this file can be turfed out.

Cheers
