Ok, point taken, but without bzip2 it wouldn't have fit on two floppies.
I could put a slightly larger gzipped version on the site along with the
bzipped one, but anyone who visits the site, as opposed to clicking the
link, would be able to read the README, so that's not necessarily going
to help.
Can I just get clear whether the problem is that there are Linux
distributions that lack bzip2 or whether it is that I was wrong in
assuming that just because it is there, people are familiar with it?
If it is the second, then perhaps Aaron could put a note by the link on
the web page to the effect that this file has been compressed with bzip2
(see man page).
