I just downloaded it and tried it out, and I have a quick question.

The instruction manual seems to be in the form of an Appleworks word processor
document, but when I try to read it in using AW, I get a message like "Errors
while trying to read file ST.FC.MANUAL".  Now my copy of Appleworks is ancient
--it's the same disk I've been using since ~1987--so this could be the problem.
If this is the case, is there some kind of conversion program that'll enable
me to view this file?  If not, what else could be wrong?

Sorry to be cluttering up the newsgroup, but I've already tried everything I
could think of.  Using "Type File" from ProTerm displays some text but leaves
out the rest.  I even whipped up a quick C program to view the hex contents
of the file, and that was enough to convince me that a quick fix with "tr" or
"awk" wasn't gonna happen.
