Lars,

I've already downloaded a copy of this text and incorporated it into 
the web site. If you'd rather have a link than the actual file, let 
me know and I'll replace it.

BTW, last night as a recreation I began a Java LTM-to-XTM converter.
After seeing Steve demo it I like the idea... it's the kind of geeky
thing that appeals to me.
