They are not currently available, for the simple reason that 31DEC99
changes on a daily basis.  We are looking at this issue but have not as
yet come up with a solution.  The promised improved "install.pl" script
will help in this regard but it's not yet available.

For now, you can either opt for a 15OCT99 CD, or download the 31DEC99
"tarball" for installation, or both.
