Thank you Jim and Pbirkel for your help.

Sorry for the slow reply. I live on the west coast of Australia in Perth
(GMT+8) so our time zones differ a lot.

Best regards
Tom Hunter

In general:  http://bitsavers.org/mailing_lists/cctalk_mailing_list/ 

However I just used Google Search on "PDP-8m Console Switch Problems - fixed! 
CCTALK CCTECH" and the fourth hit was:

http://bitsavers.org/mailing_lists/cctalk_mailing_list/2006-September.txt 

Then search in that page for "PDP-8m Console Switch Problems - fixed!" -->

Subject: Searching cctalk archives?

I came across a reference to a cctalk message from 9 September 2006 and would 
like to read the rest of the thread with the subject "PDP-8m Console Switch 
Problems - fixed!".

Unfortunately it appears that the cctalk archive does not go back to 2006.

Is there some place with the complete cctalk archive or at least back to Sept 
2006?

I have also been trying to search the cctalk archive, but short of downloading 
every month and unzip it, there appears to be no easy way of searching. What do 
experienced cctalk members do?

Thanks
Tom Hunter

Sending you the requested month.  many titled messaages.

will send gzip.

I have back to 1999.  I don't know where the full archives are, but this 
was discussed in the past.


I need to do a refresh.  I have all the gzips, and as you say, just 
unzip the lot and grep or egrep.


Look in your spam folder or email me a different address if this is a 
cctalk only no reply email you use.


thanks
Jim
