After looking at what You posted i guess the two items were unrelated...

item #1:

This is the script for the "arbitron" system that is used to produce the
data for the monthly USENET readership surveys in news.lists. It is not so
much a "source" as it is a piece of USENET folklore, posted every month so
that new people will be sure to find it. (CF the "History of USENET" articles
posted every month). It is posted to these newsgroups rather than to a source
group so that it will be widely available but will not be archived.

This notesfile version of the arbitron program was written by Rich Salz.
It is probably somewhat obsolete by now (software rot sets in rapidly
in the USENET world) but it seems to work.
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line,
# then unpack it by saving it in a file and typing "sh file".

I was asking for the header files for item #2
I assumed it was part of the package since the names are about the same
and they were posted together.  And your comment about #2 being obsolete
looks like humor (due to the extra comment)...

End of confusion? (maybe the fun has just begun...)
