Default Broken link in PG docs

At the end of the following page:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/s...s-partial.html

there is a link [Generalized Partial
Indexes<http://simon.cs.cornell.edu/home/praveen/papers/partindex.de95.ps.Z>]
which is pointing to a missing link.

Can someone update the link with a live doc? Probably
this one

I agree the link should be fixed, but I can't see another canonical
location for the document online: linking to CiteSeer (which itself is
generated from the mention in our online docs) is probably not wise.

Can anyone find a good URL for this paper?

citeseer's cache still has the paper, and in it I find the authors'
email addresses ... could try writing to them ...

I added the citeseer URL as an SGML comment. Neil is trying to contact
the author.
