To get a compressed postscript version of the paper do:

	get micro_specmiss.ps.Z

To get the compressed postscript version of the miss ratio tables do:

	get fullmissratios.postscript.Z

To get the ascii version of the same tables do:

	get fullmissratios.ascii

To get the ascii version of some additional tables Pnevmatikatos
prepared for use in the second edition John Hennessy and David
Patterson's "Computer Architecture, A Quantitative Approach" (see the
file for more details) do:

	get additional_missratios.ascii

To get the tracing and cache simulation tools that would allow you to
generate results like the above do:

	get can93_warts.ascii
	get can93_warts.ps.Z
