For what it's worth, I have legally-shareable e-copies of _March
Upcountry_, _March to the Sea_, and _March to the Stars_. Contact me
off-list if you're interested. There's a fourth in the series, _We Few_,
which was never made available in legally-shareable form (just buy it from
Baen. And don't feel that you _shouldn't_ buy the others from Baen just
because they released them legally-shareable at one point).
