Hi Devon, I know exactly where it is, but it is not accessible online :-) Before the Listquest archive (1994-1996) in Nova Scotia died, I made a mirror of the LQ archive and burned it into a CD-ROM, which is now in the possession of WJM in the Netherlands. The data is a *NIX mailbox file which needs to be parsed to be of any use. If anyone on the list has the DB resources to process and serve this file, please pipe up now! There is a smaller archive at mail-archive, which dates from year 2000: http://www.mail-archive.com/eos%40a1.nl/ Yahoogroups currently has the most complete archive, but their search engine only works for last 5000 messages (and there are about 80000 messages). See: http://yahoogroups.com/group/eos If you want just to browse, try Yahoogroups. Otherwise, you have to wait until WJM finishes his server upgrade. On the other hand, there are so many changes in the EOS system that it makes sense to ask question anew. The answers are likely to be different.
