I can't email you mine because it's tuned to my current
setup and won't work on yours unless you do the other things
I've done.
The specs format is very delicate, you must get it right. A
spec entry starts with a heading, which looks like this:
*spec_name:
That is followed by one or more lines of data. An empty spec
has here an empty line.
Then you have an empty line. Note that this means that empty
specs have *two* empty lines, while non-empty specs only have
one.
This last empty line is followed immediately by the next spec
entry.
So in particular you must have two empty lines in empty specs,
and one empty line in non-empty specs. No more, no less.

I might have to do something about that, like zip it up before
uploading it. Several people have complained (but others have
had it work fine for them).
