Wow you weren't kidding.  That took about ten minutes for that one file.

For the people who wanted to pick up that file, stay away from that
gateway.  I have the file in /386bsd on red.css.itd.umich.edu -- I am
not trying to keep up a real archive, so I'd appreciate it if one of the
other archivists would pick it up and keep it in a better home.
