pipeline, have been archived, along with all other Spitzer data
and can be retrieved using the Spitzer Leopard interface.

Recommended download strategy for pipeline-processed products:

        (http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/propkit/spot/)
   b.  Install Spitzer Pride
   c.  Start Leopard
   d.  Select Popular Products Query from the File menu 
       and choose the data sets you want
   e.  Select Download Selections from the file menu and let 
       the Leopard Subscriber manage the data download from the 
       Popular Products website. 

We have created a status page

        http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/archanaly/status

that shows the processing and archiving status for all of the
instrument campaigns. We update this frequently as we populate 
the archive. Check there for release status of observations
for this, and other, Spitzer programs.
