Finally, he did attempt to figure out what was involved
in getting the
sources. But, due to his lack of understanding of how the files are
packaged, he gave up. Plus, if the MS-DOS version is equally

The files are in a tar archive (.tar) which is then compressed (.Z)
This is similar to what happens with .zip files (archived and
compressed in one step).
On one hand, your friend could learn how to use a unix machine to
get the files and unpack them, and on the other hand, maybe someone
should take all the files which comprise the current kit and create
an equivalent .zip file and put it on gatekeeper...
