You were given a bum steer; Kent Pitman's pages moved from
"world.std.com" to "nhplace.com" way back in 2003. Try this:[1]

    http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Condition-Handling-2001.html

Also be sure to check out Kent's many other interesting/useful
writings on software, largely on Lisp:

    http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/index.html

The following older paper might provide additional context/insight
into the above paper on conditional handling:

    http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Exceptional-Situations-1990.html

And *definitely* before complaining about there being no generic
COPY or COPY-INSTANCE in Common Lisp, you need to read this:  ;-}  ;-}
