You need to contact NeXT Technical Support to obtain the missing
pieces.  BTW, you might want to look in the anonymous FTP
directories pub/webster and pub/webster/NeXT-2.0 on
iuvax.cs.indiana.edu; Steve Hayman's <sahayman@cs.indiana.edu>
stuff may be all you need, or at least a good starting point.
