I have been archiving all of the messages posted to comp.compilers since September 1986, shortly after it turned from a mailing list into a moderated news group. There have been over 750 messages totalling about 580K, with the traffic growing somewhat each year. On the occasions when people have asked to get stuff from the archives, I have mailed it out by hand, but the number of requests is increasing. If there is sufficient interest, I could set up anonymous uucp or a mail server. Let me know, by sending to compilers-request. I also have a table of contents I could mail out or post. My machine is not on the Internet and is unlikely to be any time soon, so there's no FTP unless someone wants to volunteer to keep copies. Also, the moderation point for compilers has moved from ima.isc.com to my personal machine, esegue.segue.boston.ma.us. I expect that ima will continue to forward mail here indefinitely but you might want to update your tables anyway. John Levine -- Send compilers articles to compilers@ima.isc.com or, perhaps, Levine@YALE.EDU { decvax | harvard | yale | bbn }!ima. Meta-mail to ima!compilers-request. Please send responses to the author of the message, not the poster.

There has been enough interest in a mail archive that I will see about setting one up, probably late next week. In the meantime, the next message is a cumulative table of contents of all the messages in the archive. Please don't ask for archived messages before I get the server set up, unless you're really desperate. John Levine, moderator -- Send compilers articles to compilers@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us {spdcc | ima | lotus}!esegue. Meta-mail to compilers-request@esegue. Please send responses to the author of the message, not the poster.
