Missing "Additional Info" for certain QFEs

For the devices we've already delivered, I'm currently preparing a monster
patch that includes all security relevant patches since SP1. (They are more
than 30, so you can imagine the mood I'm already in.)

For every QFE, we need a file called "Additional_Info_Qxxxxxxxx.rtf" that
describes where to put the individual files from the QFE, how to rename
them, and which registry entries to set.

For the patches issued between 12-Feb-03 and 25-Feb-03, these "Info" files
are included in the QFE EXE file. For patches issued between 04-Sep-03 and
now, the files can be downloaded from a separate link on the download page
in MS Download Center. For the patches in between, there is no file either
on the download page nor in the EXE file. The patches are

810577 (MS03-005)
814078 (MS03-008)
331953 (MS03-010)
330994 (MS03-014)
823980 (MS03-026)
823559 (MS03-023)
811493 (MS03-013).

What are we supposed to do with those? Or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything - these were missed at the time and
backburnered until they were forgotten. And I'll take full
responsibility for them - I missed them, I backburnered them, I forgot
about them.

Give me a week and I'll pull the info together for you.

FYI, the info file for

825119 (MS03-044)

seems to be missing as well.

Quick update here - the docs have been written, and have been sent off
to our testers for review and verification. Once that sign-off happens
(I expect it by the end of this week), we'll get them onto the download
pages for the QFE's in question - expect that happen early next week.
