Thanks, Mark & Randy. I have updated the reference.

I have also made a marked-up
HTML version of RFC1036 and linked the reference to it. It's at
<http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Protocols/rfc1036/rfc1036.html>

Yes. There was a link in the hypertext, but not in the plain text.
RFC977 is also available in HTML. Point your browser at
<http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Protocols/rfc977/rfc977.html>

I have made these HTML copies so that I could point references in the
URL stuff straight into the relevant part of the other RFCs for those
browsing online for reference (I'm getting a small collection now).
I've put paper-style references in too.
