It turns out this file (diag.mac) is in the Maxima share libraries.
load(diag); should load it. The version in Maxima share seems
to be more extensive than the one posted to the mailing list.
For future reference -- to decode base64-encoded files,
I have found the following incantation helpful:
python /usr/lib/python2.3/base64.py -d FOO.input > FOO.output
I'm sure there is a smarter way to do it.
FWIW
