This was free for net/softcopy (maybe with non commercial restriction).
I guess author stop distributing on the net.

Typical redirect for lost account.  psheer looks like account name of

Well, it is a copy although this web site is not by the original author.

http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
http://www.chongluo.com/books/rute/
http://linuxcourse.rutgers.edu/rute/index.html
http://www.gnoppix.org/pages/rute/           (This is now part of Ubuntsu)

All above are 2002 version 1.00 but none are really on good site I can
count on.

Seemingly old 2000 version at;
http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/linux/rute/

Interesting...

Some link (for example www.tldp.org) point to
http://rute.sourceforge.net/ but there is nothing there.

There was Simon Law's ITP for Debian.  OK.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=150223

OK, now it is in Debian non-free.  This should be one I should use.
