I hope that people read this note before replying to Mr. McDonald.

I think the flame was uncalled-for.  The header said how to decode the
files: unshar, uudecode, and uncompress (see lines 22 etc.).  uudecode
and uncompress are available at UIUC machines (at least on uxa).  You
may not have unshar, but it later says how to unshar the file.  (See
lines 33 etc.; delete lines to the cut line, and feed the rest of the
file to sh via "sh file" or "sh < file" or "chmod u+x file; file".) The
reason for doing all this was explained in the note: uncompressed, the
files are some 115K, but sent this way they are just 33K.

Mr. McDonald: please retry the instructions.  If you prefer not, or if
you have further difficulties: I have unpacked the two files on
uicsrd.  To fetch them from here, type
	ftp uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu
When it asks for a login name, use "anonymous".  When it asks for a
password, use your ID (mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu).
	cd public/dhry
	ls
	get bymanuf
	get byperf
	quit
However, unpacking the files on your system would be faster.  Please
e-mail me if you have any difficulties -- I'll be glad to help.
