Some files are in *.pdf format, others are zipped (*.zip) post-script format (*.prn). A majority of *.pdf files contain only abstract (and possibly introduction). Please, e-mail the author to send you the copy of the paper. 

Important note:

Some files are created with Adobe Acrobat 4, so it is important to download the appropriate acrobat reader (Acrobat 3 will not work!). Here is the file on my site (5.6MB) and on Adobe site.
