I don't think you have to sign up to the Yahoo group to download the
file. Dutch did it and I don't think he signed up. It's too long to
put in a newsgroup message. Maybe I'll put it on my webpage.

without having read a single word of it.

Are you familiar with the concept that when you make a request of
someone you exercise basic courtesy?
