Yes, 1.99q3 for Linux is in our BleedingEdge directory
(ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge/Linux).  It should also be on all ARDI
mirrors.

Right now our Executor 2 beta CD-ROMs are largely being held back due
to mystery floppy access problems.  While Mat and I work on that
there's a chance that Cotton will crank out support for the icon
