Two things come to mind ...

1. I didn't think one could `read' an executable file ;-)

2. What size is that file bibtex.zl9? The right version should be
   172kb in size -- although if you list the file another way, you'll
   find it's more like 176kb or so. But they're the same file --
   something to do with higher comp-math ;-)
