There is just such a beast living on public/latex-style from rochester.
It's found in the file lgraph.shar.
It is available from either:
    (1) anonymous ftp to cayuga.cs.rochester.edu

[HOW?
    % ftp cayuga.cs.rochester.edu  (a.k.a. rochester.arpa, a.k.a. 192.5.53.209)
]

or  (2) an archive server

[HOW?
    Send a piece of mail to LaTeX-Style (@rochester.arpa, @cs.rochester.edu, 
    via uucp or your favourite gateway) in the following format:

    Subject line should contain the phrase "@file request".  Body of the
    mail should start with a line containing only an @ (at) sign.
    (Important!) The first line following should be a mail address FROM
    rochester TO you.  Then follow by the names of the files you want,
    either one to each line, or many to each line, separated by spaces.
    End with a line containing only an @ sign.  Case is not significant.

    For example, if you are user at site.bitnet, this is what you should send:

    To: latex-style@rochester.arpa
    Subject: @file request

    @
    user%site.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu
    00readme
    00index
    @

    A word to the wise: it is best to fully qualify your mail address. Our
    mailer knows about some gateways but not all. Examples:

	    user%site.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu
	    user%site.csnet@relay.cs.net

    Do not include any messages in the mail. It will not be seen by human
    eyes.  Be patient as the server is actually a batch program run once a
    day. Files will be sent in batches, each not exceeding 100kbytes in size.
