- The copy of these files on uunet/OSU is bad. Perhaps the "binary" option
- was left off when the files were copied from ftp.cs.caltech.edu (in which
- case all of the files in the csvax subdirectory are probably bad).

- Anyway, I believe Dave Brierley is aware of the problem. Anonymous
- ftp users can get a copy from ftp.cs.caltech.edu:pub/3b1. Unfortunately,
- there is no anonymous uucp access to the Caltech machine.
