ah, thanks.  i had tried Google and got to Sourceforge or somewhere 
with no mention of an RO version.
OK, i downloaded and installed and i think i worked out how to run it 
from the command line.  but 15 minutes later, it has written only 712K 
and seems to be still thinking about something; at least the 
taskwindow has not come back to *.

meanwhile, i dug out !Split (Adam Hamilton, 1995) and split the 34M 
log into the equivalent of umpty-two floppies, and then put all that 
into a 5M zip, which is here:  www.abbeypress.net/netsurflog100111.zip 
-- you may need to *settype of all of the inner files as Text.

having done the !Split business, i was able to look at the contents of 
the tail-end floppyequivalents, and they do NOT seem to contain binary 
stuff, but rather the likes of:
