- I feel for you, but I don't know what to do. Perhaps the InterWorks
- library has a copy of odump. You can try contacting the librarian at
- librarian@iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu I cannot access this machine because
- of HP's protected subnet but I understand it has various useful files.
-
- If InterWorks does not have the contrib fileset, they should be able
- to get it. Then it could be loaded once on their machine and distributed
- from there (it is a free fileset as far as I know).

- P.S. InterWorks is the HP Workstation Users Group.
