From many ftp sites or via uucp from uunet, dsinc or other archive sites.
See the monthly posting for a list, or send the message

send elm elm-ftp

to archive-server@dsi.com for a list of ftp sites. (It will not mail out
Elm)... for a list of uucp instructions for dsinc send the message

send anon how-to dir

to the same address.
