Users with FTP capabilities can obtain them from ymir.claremont.edu in
[anonymous.tex.mf.concrete]. They are also available from Jon Radel:

 Contact: Jon Radel
 Postal Address: P.O. Box 2276
                 Reston, VA 22090
 Notes: Software is distributed on 5.25" 360K floppy disks. For floppies
        sent with a return mailer, there is a charge of $1.50/floppy
        U.S. orders, $2/floppy elsewhere. For orders where floppies
        are supplied by Jon Radel, there is a charge of $5/floppy
        for U.S., Mexican and Canadian orders, $6/floppy elsewhere.
 
Since the original poster is from the UK, I suggest that he try to
obtain the files from the Aston archive on Janet (FTP from uk.ac.aston.tex).
