I tried playing with it briefly last night, but ran in to all sorts of problems (some of which are doubtless to do with the fact that my box is in a state of disarray at the moment).

In the mean time I note that it's written in Perl 4. I could well be better off dusting down some of my own scripts (Perl 5) and properly documenting them instead. I need to buy a laptop. . .
