Could you possibly make the raw file available (or give an FTP site
and file name/path where I could pick it up from)?

Well, appropriate or not (do we have any children reading this list?  I
don't think so) it'd probably be of more interest to a larger fraction
of the list than the current discussion of particle physics ... (not
that I don't like physics discussions, but this one seems to be getting
a little esoteric even for this group).

If you don't want to post the material on the TML, perhaps you could
distribute it to the interested parties via mail?
