The original KISS spec can be found on ftp.ucsd.edu in the
hamradio/packet/arrlcnc/1987 directory as kisstnc.ms.Z.  You'll need to
retrieve it as a binary file, then uncompress it and run it through either
nroff or troff.  Easiest way to do it is on a UNIX system.  Ie:

uncompress kisstnc.ms.Z

followed by

troff -t -ms kisstnc.ms | lpr -t   (if you want to print it)

or

nroff -ms kisstnc.ms   (if you want to display just the text)
