True, but here's the kicker: using the full URL, which I just dblchecked
from Rushby's original message as being (enclosing in <...>)...:

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=272BE09D-40BB-
49FD-9CB0-4BFA122FA91B&displaylang=en>

NOW gives me the same error page too.  When Rushby suggested it
yesterday I immediately used it, and it allowed me to download the
Toolkit 2003 just fine -- so, I guess Microsoft must have killed that
possibility shortly thereafter (who said they can't move fast?-).

As of now, I don't know any more of a URL that's usable to download
this, therefore:-(
