I got it from freshmeat.net but can't untar/unzip it:

[root at p166 chris2]# ls -a amsnfls
.  ..  amsn-0_83.tar.gz
[root at p166 chris2]# cd amsnfls
[root at p166 amsnfls]# tar xzvf amsn-0_83.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root at p166 amsnfls]# tar xvf amsn-0_83.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root at p166 amsnfls]# tar xzvf amsn*

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
