I've been interested in this too, though until now I've
never asked TD about it directly (but just did).

I retrieved the internal tech-memo version of Duff's paper
from the BL library's collection.  It's a big page-scan
(768KB in PDF).  Usenix doesn't seem to have the published
version.

For the moment, it's available at
 www.cs.bell-labs-com/~dmr/tdvirus.pdf

If Tom objects, I'll withdraw it.  But it's a nice paper.
