Actually they will fit on 11 CDs.  at 700mb / CD.  I have a backup copy of them
on
CD here and it only takes eleven.  I wrote a simple unix shell script to group
the files
and fit them into 11 directories that were <= 700mb, so it takes a little work
to pack them
together just right if you don't automate it as I did.
