This, and many other similar questions are answered in
/pc/ts/tsfaq21.arc Frequently Asked Questions collection. In this
particular case the answer is /pc/unix/comp430d.zip.
"The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi,
Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the
latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are
not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to
send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. It that case,
contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you,
because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail
server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an
ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.)"
