I downloaded and uncrompressed the file with no problems on my Mac. My
browser IE 5 is configured to use Stuffit Expander with any zipped file
and it didn't even choke on this one. The resulting file was what
appeared to be a plain text file that could not be opened by
double-clicking. But I was able to drag and drop it onto Acrobat Reader
4.0 which handled it with ease. Let me know and I will send it to you.
