[NTLUG:Discuss] Looking for libjpeg-6a Source RPM

OK, been searching the web and still cannot find a good copy, even on 
RedHat.  What I'm looking for is the libjpeg6a-6a-8.src.rpm, size of 
543973, that came with RedHat 5.0.  A package we're examining requires 
that exact version since its release is a diff of the various files and 
setup is a series of patch instructions against that release.

That version went to 6b with RH 5.1, so what I'm looking for is quite 
ancient.  If anyone is a packrat and still has RedHat 5.0 disks, let me 
know.  What I want off them is the source RPM itself.  The RPM on the 
RedHat site is corrupted and will not install, thus this request.

...Thanks,
...Ken

P.S. - There is a cautionary tale here - diff as a release mechanism is 
bad news a few months/years after the release.
