The papers are available via anonymous ftp from athena-dist.mit.edu in
the directory pub/virus (along with serveral of the other contemporary
papers.) PostScript, LaTeX, and DVI should all be available.

I've got a draft of an early version converted to html (I didn't find
the final draft until recently -- five years and it all gets confused
:-) at 
        http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/eichin/www/virus/main.html

If I get the time (or lots of feedback) I'll update it from the final
draft, but at least this version is accessible. (Note that this paper
has also been republished (via the ACM) in dozens of places, at least
two textbooks, and has been translated into Japanese...)
