Someone apparently repacked the ZIP.  I called the author's designated
distribution BBS and got a fresh copy.  It's now on SIMTEL20 and soon
will be available from the mirror sites.  You can tell if they have
the new version by the filesize.  It's now 142377 bytes.

Please do not post these kinds of questions to Usenet news.  Please
give me a chance to fix problems like this before broadcasting them to
the whole world!  My email address is frequently seen in this
newsgroup.
