Ok, so now I crossposted this message to 5 news groups 
(c.o.o.apps,utilities,mail-news,c.o.o.networking.tcp-ip and ibmnet.general), 
as I'm surprised by the response as well. 8)

Changi can be found in hobbes.nmsu.edu. I just checked and it is still in 
/incoming. The filename is Changi09.Zip.

Again, if you like it, don't forget to send a postcard to the author. ;)
