No, don't post them. To redistribute this software, you need a license from
Apple, which we don't have.

Join the club. Apple's evidently slowed shipments To The Rest Of Us to 
give developers a chance to evaluate it and see what it breaks. (smart,
if you ask me, excpe that I'd really love to have Multifinder...)

About all I can recommend is patience. The new stuff hasn't yet been
released to the electronic systems, and I haven't heard of a single case of
a store having the $49 package. As soon as it shows up on Delphi, I'll let
you folks know, so people with Delphi/CI$/etc accounts can go get them.
