 I found a file with an extensive summary of net discussion on this topic.
  
 I believe you can get it by anonymous ftp from math.princeton.edu
   [128.112.128.157] in the directory pub/rjc/csip.  (csip may not be correct)
    The files are compressed via
    the UNIX "compress" program (see question 1.3).  The file "directory"
    describes the contents of the directory.

    People who cannot ftp can request the files via email.  Before sending
    mail to the server, make sure you are using the instructions from the
    most recent version of this file.

    Send email to rjc@math.princeton.edu with no subject and containing
    only lines with commands.  For example if you want help, send the line:

        help   
 
    and to get the file 'coherent' send a line:
 
        send coherent

    I think this is correct.  If you do wrong, you will get a help message.
    Good luck.
