I have been interested in obtaining CWEB for some time after reading
about it in Knuth's Computer Journal article on WEB. I'm glad to see
from a recent message that others have caught on to the potential that
a similar literate programming system offers to C programmers.
Knuth's article simply says that CWEB was developed by Harold Thimbleby
at the University of York. There are unfortunately 2 Universities of York,
one in Canada and the other in England. After writing to both, I received
a reprint of Thimbleby's article "Experiences of 'Literate Programming'
Using CWEB" , Computer Journal, vol.29, No.3, 1986, pp. 201-211. He also
provided me, at my request, with a network address:
harold@uk.ac.york.munster
His regular mailing address is: Dept. of Computer Science
University of York
Heslington, York YO1 5DD
United Kingdom
I had some difficulty finding a pathway to his network address so I
wrote to him again and asked him to contact me over the network so
I could try to work backwards through the path he used. He did this.
However, I have been unsuccessful in getting him to send me any more
messages over the network or to answer any more of my letters. In
particular, I despair of getting access to CWEB.
If anyone else succeeds in getting their hands on CWEB, I'd be very
interested in hearing about it.jbuck@epimass.EPI.COM (Joe Buck) (06/26/87)

Just as the Brits and the Yanks drive on opposite sites of the street, they also write their domains the opposite way. (UK writes top-level domain first, US writes it last). If you write harold@munster.york.ac.uk there are gateways that will recognize this and it will be reversed when it gets to the UK. This address should work from the Internet; UUCP users can mail to {seismo,ucbvax}!munster.york.ac.uk!harold . -- - Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.EPI.COM {seismo,ucbvax,sun,decwrl,<smart-site>}!epimass.epi.com!jbuck Old arpa mailers: jbuck%epimass.EPI.COM@seismo.css.gov
