In ftping to the address above and examining README, it appears that
the NUSIRG user-guide is available only in postscript format. I need
to receive it in ASCII format. The README of Oct. 1991 indicated
that they were working on an ASCII version. Does anyone know if the
ASCII version is available yet?
