Hello All,
Is there a list archive somewhere? Hate to ask questions that have
already been pondered....
Yes, there is a list archive. The actual archive of all messages sent
to the list is
sun.soe.clarkson.edu:/pub/msdos/djgpp/
I forget what files are in there; they are big (loits of MB), and raw
text.
A perhaps more useful alternative is the Yaseppochi-gumi archive:
turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp:/pub/djgpp/list-archive/*.stripped.gz
The * stands for a coding by month. It's currently up-to-date to Dec
31 1994, or maybe mid-January. Probably by the time you read this it
will be up to Jan 31 1995, certainly by Monday Feb 6. These are my
personal archives, so there is some stuff not sent to the list
(djgpp-relevant), there may some messages missing (due to
delete-before-store), and all (un)?subscribe messages get flushed
without storing ;-). All extraneous headers are stripped out (I'm
working on .sigs!), divided into months according to "Date:", and
gzip'ed.
The archive can also be accessed via WWW: (everybody, please note!
new URL):
http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/yaseppochi-gumi.html#djgpp
This has the advantage that you can search the archives using GNU grep
regular expressions. I will probably change to perl soon. Also, I am
fairly sure that certain expressions don't work (eg, r+ = r one or
more times) because of bugs in my HTTP-query to regexp filter. The
regexp is printed at the top; if it's not what you typed in, it's
probably a bug. You will *not* be able to use single quotes in the
grep implementation.
Eli Zaretskii's Dec '94 beta-FAQ is there (soon obsolete, I hear), and
it is also searchable.
I plan to revise the search programs and the organization of pages
soon. This would be a good time to send suggestions! (Please note
that my mailing address and FTP/Web host *are different machines*.)
