 Here is the error message I got:

The webpage at *http://kitani.ipfw.edu/~erbach/IndoorCentury/* might be
temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Then I went searching and found:

http://garyj.tccw.wku.edu/~david.erbach/IndoorCentury/index.html

With this message from David:

"Indoor Century has been migrated to its new home. Please update your links.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
   I have recently acquired additional material, and am hoping to prepare
more commentary and especially illustrations.
    - David Erbach"

Yea!
