I have the Windoze version on my home PC, at http://209.6.162.179/download.

Hmm, I forgot the site from which I downloaded the Linux version, and
the company which is now heavily pushing SSH2 (the expensiveware
version) is successfully burying a lot of the public info about SSH1
(the freeware version).

So you'll find the Unix version on my system as well--I just copied it
from one of the machines at the office, where I'm also deploying SSH1
in an effort to make the root passwords more secure.  I'd have a DNS
entry for 209.6.162.179 but I just switched ISPs and haven't gotten
around to updating it yet, hence the obscure URL.
