I think that it's available on system "conexch" (consult the nixpub
listings). (If you can't find it there, let me know, and I'll rummage
through my floppy discs to try to find out where it lives.)

Yep. It works. (I run things out of crontab, in spite of the program's
author's recommendation against so doing.  It seems the most reliable way
of doing what I want to do.)
