I had to go begging on Usenet to find a copy. Fortunately, Ken Turkowski came through for us. IIRC, He was working with Martin Newell in Silicon Valley at the time.

Where is the spline data? Alpha_1 era Utah would have insisted on a NURBS model, complete with proper Ws to make sure the teapot is perfectly round.
Funny story: When I first started working at the Utah graphics lab in the mid 1980s, I asked around for a copy of the teapot model. Nobody had one!

Took a little practice, but it solves the selection & tool modifier issues when using Photoshop, CAD, etc.

Thanks for the response!
The solution I found was to use a "gamer mouse" that comes loaded with extra buttons on the side (Logitech G502, many others to choose from). I remapped three buttons on the thumb side of the mouse to Shift/Ctrl/Alt with Logitech's app.
