I believe it came out on one of the early symposium tapes for VAX/VMS. It is fairly straightforward to do yourself, but it seems worthwhile to propogate one standard hack. I bet many sites have it and don't realize it. Also, I think DEC Software Sales people were propogating it, and it might be available from your local office. -------
