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!
