Ooooops, when I verified the file, I used the prior version.  Yes, this
file is corrupt (around lines 471 to 548, give or take).  David is being
cc'ed on this.  I am requesting (1) that he re-submit the file to me, and
(2) that anyone who has retrieved the file please forgive me for not
following our local policy on checking files prior to placing them in the
archives (i.e., rename the old version prior to testing before doing any
checks on the revised submission).

I am immediately placing a notice in the file stating that it is not
available (i.e., we will not be distributing any versions of this until a
correct one gets here).  As soon as I have a non-corrupt file in place
(yes, I will check and double check every file from now on), I will
re-announce it.  Sorry for any and all bandwidth wasted in the
announcement, as well as retrievals, as well as time you may have used.  I
will make every effort to send the corrected file to those I have FILESERV
records on between the time of the announcement yesterday and the present
time.

Regards and apologies once again,   George
