Why does the wlprinst.exe binary download as 89K rather than 271K?
This happens whenever I download the wlprinst.exe program from lynx,
netscape, or IE.

Downloaded from http://web.mit.edu/installers/win.combined/LPRSpool/
-rw-------   1 fubob       89896 Dec 16 12:49 wlprinst.exe

But the real file:
-rw-------   1 16478      271263 Aug 21  1997 /mit/installers/win.combined/LPRSpool/wlprinst.exe

Is this the fault of the web.mit.edu server?
