for anyone that's following this thread, I've tried this version:

and can't get it to work.
The straight download has an error in one of the .DAT files, and the
zipped
version has incorrect references in the executable :(
That's the FORTRAN version.
There are a couple of "problems". The DTEXT.DAT file is a fixed record
size file. That will not transfer well over http, or most ftp programs.
In VMS, you could (if you transferred the file in binary) probably do a
SET FILE to change the attributes after transfer.
Let me know if you need more info here.
As for problems with the zipped version, I have no clues...
But all you would need from the ZIP-archive is the DAT-files (which
might be restored correctly from there), and then you can use whatever
.EXE file you might find.
