I've just been trying to find it - nothing on SimTel or the two mirrors
I looked at, nor have they put it under the /gif or /graphics directories.  
Nor can the AltaVista search-engine pick up anything
for 'asciia10.zip'.

I assume they take a week or so to check out the programme for viruses 
and copyright ?  So maybe it'll get placed onto Simtel next week ?
