A nearly spherical star collapses through its gravitational radius. Nonspherical perturbations exist in its density, pressure, electromagnetic field, and gravitational field, and in other (hypothetical) zero-rest-mass, integer-spin fields coupled to sources in the stars. Paper I analyzed the evolution of scalar-field and gravitational-field perturbations. This paper treats fields of arbitrary integer spin and zero rest mass, using the Newman-Penrose tetrad formalism. The analysis of each multipole (order=l) of each field (spin=s) is reduced to the study of a two-dimensional wave equation, with a "curvature potential" that differs little from one field to another. The analysis of this wave equation for the scalar case (s=0) carries over completely to fields of arbitrary spin s. In particular, any radiatable multipole (l>=s) gets radiated away completely in the late stages of collapse; if the multipole is static prior to the onset of collapse, it will die out as t-(2l+2) at late times. Nonradiatable multipoles (l
