I'm pleased to announce that an archive of the comp.lang.eiffel newsgroup is now available on gatekeeper.dec.com. The files are in /pub/plan/eiffel/usenet/USENET-xx-yyy, where `xx' represents the last two digits of the year and `yyy' the month of posting. Compressed versions of the files are also available. From IP (either inside DEC or outside DEC): anonymous FTP to gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2) cd pub/plan/eiffel/usenet get USENET-xx-yyy (or to get the compressed copy, bin, get USENET-xx-yyy.Z) From a UUCP neighbor of decwrl: "uucp decwrl!~/pub/plan/eiffel/usenet/USENET-xx-yyy.Z" From the DEC Easynet: DECWRL::"/pub/plan/eiffel/usenet/USENET-xx-yyy" Current contents of the archive with sizes in Kbytes: #gatekeeper:vax# ls -s total 4594 43 USENET-88-DEC 296 USENET-89-JUN 280 USENET-90-FEB 22 USENET-88-DEC.Z 136 USENET-89-JUN.Z 128 USENET-90-FEB.Z 128 USENET-89-APR 176 USENET-89-MAR 240 USENET-90-JAN 53 USENET-89-APR.Z 74 USENET-89-MAR.Z 112 USENET-90-JAN.Z 136 USENET-89-AUG 120 USENET-89-MAY 264 USENET-90-JUL 59 USENET-89-AUG.Z 51 USENET-89-MAY.Z 120 USENET-90-JUL.Z 112 USENET-89-DEC 77 USENET-89-NOV 128 USENET-90-JUN 47 USENET-89-DEC.Z 38 USENET-89-NOV.Z 55 USENET-90-JUN.Z 39 USENET-89-FEB 58 USENET-89-OCT 256 USENET-90-MAR 20 USENET-89-FEB.Z 30 USENET-89-OCT.Z 120 USENET-90-MAR.Z 5 USENET-89-JAN 272 USENET-89-SEP 112 USENET-90-MAY 3 USENET-89-JAN.Z 136 USENET-89-SEP.Z 48 USENET-90-MAY.Z 248 USENET-89-JUL 168 USENET-90-APR 112 USENET-89-JUL.Z 72 USENET-90-APR.Z Judging by the article numbers assigned by ISE's news machine, five articles are missing (258, 449, 674, 853, 898). I suppose it's possible that these were cancelled. If anyone knows more about this, let me know. My thanks to the helpful folks at the DEC Western Research Lab for hosting the archive, and to ISE for providing the files. UUCP: ...!decwrl!ddif.enet!goun Roger H.
