My install++ problem is now resolved.  The problem had nothing to do with
release indexes, bad baseline files, or anything of the sort.  the
problem was that when install++ complains:

None of the following products were found:
      Apollo os.10.2.p
      ftnlib (something.something.something)

what it really means is that you need to have Either installed 10.2,
OR have installed the current ftnlib.  This is a rather mysterious
message. Anyway, when I installed the ftnlib, everything went fine. This
is a problem with the release notes that came with the tape, as the
release notes imply that you do not need to install the newest ftnlib
if you are not using BYTE variables.
    Thanks to Dan Brooks of the 800-number, for a conversation that 
somehow jogged my brain into thinking of this interpretation of the
error message.
