RTM :) Read The Manual.

Internet is pretty fast actually.  Since it really is a network
your message probably was broadcast before you new it.

900KB?  I take they didn't use ZIP :) [popular Dos machine
archive that's also available on many other platforms includeing
UNIX machines] Better than LINUX :) [ >15 megs]

It happens, the thing that's importantt is you RECOVERED

Archie is an experimental archive site data base it know 3500
sites and "most" of their contents [some are of course
protected].  You can send a request to an archie server and it
will see if it can find what your looking for.

Sure no problem since it's Public Domain as well.

Speaking of Prolog, does this prolog require the machine to run
in protected mode? [aka > 1 meg memory for 286+ machines]
