Date: Fri, 17 Mar 1995 02:52:23 +0900 From: Stephen Turnbull To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Subject: Yaseppochi-gumi archives updated For all of you who have been waiting with baited breath, the "(A)bort/(F)ail/(R)etry ?" message has finally disappeared from my personal console, and the Yaseppochi-gumi list archive (URLs are in .sig) has been updated to current. Sorry! I have no excuse; I am just a space case these days. The djgpp.9502.stripped.gz and djgpp.950301-15.stripped.gz (this probably actually goes up to Mar 16 or even part of 17) are now searchable and available by WWW and anonymous FTP. The stripped files are approximately 50% of the unstripped files, an awful lot of excess header verbiage IMO. This leads me to suspect that my artificially intelligent .sig-stripper has contracted brain-damage and decided that anything with "++" in it is actually Aaron Ucko's .sig, thus deleting all articles about "C++". I *may* get around to checking this sometime this month. (But only hard-core optimists would hold their breath.) If you're paranoid that way, the unstripped versions are gzipped (about 25% larger than the gzipped strip files) and are available as djgpp.950*.gz. They are not searchable. If they disappear, it means that I did check and no useful content was lost to the stripper script. I appreciate your patience (ie, lack of public flames---anybody been following the UVV thread on news.groups?) I also appreciate those who have gently reminded me in private---it's really important to know that the service is useful enough that somebody asks for the updates. Don't hesitate to write if I get behind. It's nice to see that DJGPP activity is back up to a noticable fraction of accesses after two depressing months of people only looking at earthquake casualty lists and disaster photos. -- Stephen Turnbull / Yaseppochi-gumi / http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/ anon FTP: turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp Check out Kansai-WWW, too ------------> http://pclsp2.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/
