Thank you all for your quick replies.  Some of you responded directly
some by posting.

However, I still have a problem.  I do not have anonymous FTP capability.
All of the responders used FTP to get the files.

I can not find an archive-server with the source in shar form. If anyone
knows where I can get a copy in shar form please let me know.

Here is a summary of the responses for people with anonymous FTP capability.

Thanks again,
