My apologies to those who have had this trouble.  I get my copies
through unofficial channels.  I believe it is possible to join the
X3J11 mailing list and receive a copy of all their publications,
for some fee like $200/year; probably one could find out about this
and other means of obtaining copies of the drafts by asking Thomas
Plum at Plum Hall Inc., 1 Spruce Avenue, Cardiff NJ 08232.  He is
the official X3J11 interface to the public.  It would be nice if
the first person to get definitive information on this would post it.
