We have different definitions for "alive", then. :-) There have been no new scripts included since the old submission instructions were renamed to "legacy.html" ~12 years ago. Indeed I have to go *15* years back to find any files that were touched "recently" (see below). > We never deprecated it. That's what I was suggesting we do. Just make a directory on backpan and move it there. - ask # 14 years [r...@mirrors.la scripts]# find . -type f -mtime -5110 | grep -v index.html ./new/submitting.html ./submitting.html ./legacy.html # 15 years [r...@mirrors.la scripts]# find . -type f -mtime -5475 | grep -v index.html ./new/submitting.html ./dbase/cisamperl-0.95 ./dbase/rdb.info ./dbase/menu ./submitting.html ./admin/menu ./date_and_time/menu ./date_and_time/itimers.pl ./interfaces/curseperl/menu.pl.announce ./interfaces/curseperl/menu ./interfaces/curseperl/perlmenu.v3.3.tar.Z ./ftpstuff/mirror-2.8.tar.gz ./ftpstuff/menu ./ftpstuff/ftplib-1.1.patch ./mailstuff/menu ./mailstuff/mailsort.tar.gz ./mailstuff/mailsort ./legacy.html ./infoserv/WWW/sgmlstripper ./infoserv/WWW/rjsemail.cgi ./infoserv/WWW/mhttpd-0.1.tar.gz ./infoserv/WWW/menu ./math.and.stat.stuff/call_graph.pro.shar ./math.and.stat.stuff/menu ./text-processing/fortran_scripts.uu
