It's good to hear that this is now available, but I'll keep asking the
followup question until it's answered:

Will it be made available at some point for anonymous ftp on apple.com
like the native English versions are ?

Yes, I know, I can get it through APDA, but this is a painfully slow
process over here, and I'd rather like to have it RSN.

Thanks, Apple, for listening !
