Everybody is so angry because a fair number of us are like me:  I have
access to a UNIX system for mail purposes only.  I don't *have* uncompress
and uudecode on my Mac!  Without looking past the first page of the note,
I downloaded it to my Mac, at 2400 baud it took several minutes.  When I
looked at the file on my Mac, I was pretty mad to see that I had wasted
my time downloading a bunch of garbage.
