Brian Westley decided to just ``screw the (US) government'' and make the real source available. The source at that site no longer exists. Around the same time, were were notified by Nathan Sidwell (who lives outside the US) that his source available on the Web as well. The source at that site also no longer exists.
Update: We were told that Google has a comp.lang.c archive with a copy of the source ported by Nathan Sidwell.
