Ah!  Sorry, my bad.

My disks had a notice about downloading sources written on them
somewhere.  (That's how I found out about source disks 1 through 5, in
fact.)  Unfortunately I'm all packed up for a move right now, and the
disks are at the bottom of a big box.  I hope someone else can help you
with specifics.  But somewhere on the Shipit disks I got (or maybe it
was the packaging?) there was a pointer to the download site.
