Joe Pickert is working on it.  You can get it on diskette from Prentice-Hall
for $10.  The problem with putting it online no doubt relates to the fact
that the Macintosh has its own, weird, idiosyncratic disk format.  The PC
and Atari disks are just plain old industry standard 360K disks.  That makes
them easy to deal with.
