This is not technically a lisp question I suppose...

I have a text file (in fact, an html version is at
http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~tfb/random-docs/alm.html) which has a parody
of Alice's Restaurant, presumably written by someone who was at MIT.

If I ever knew who the author was I don't now, and in fact I don't
even have the original document, just a TeX version I made a long time
ago.  Someone suggested it might be by Guy Steele but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know the history of this, and where a clean version can be
found?

Thanks

My copy of Alice's Lisp Machine came from the ······@ARPA.sri-ai
posted on Sunday 15 Dec 1985 (Volume3 : Issue 187) so I assume it is
older than that.  It was forwarded from ······@MIT-XX to teh UTexac
bboard and from there to AIList by ····@SRI-AI

It was by-lines Chris Stacy, Alan Wecsler and Noel Chiappa

The printout is getting rather yellow.....
