It looks like someone has digitized it as an HTML page here:

Looks to be a Japanese UNIX history webpage:

I haven't explored the rest of their stuff, busy with a
work thing right now, but that might bear some further leads.
Note the http: if anyone is paranoid about that sort of thing.
Not like you're sending credentials but as someone who is on
https-only and has to approve all my http connections I got my
expected popup, so fyi.
