All,
To those that replied thanks.
Replies to my original email are below:
SUMMARY:
In attempting to find the archives the only current way (as Sean Lamb suggested)
seems to be to send a command to the request address for each respective list.
The limit of the archive messages seems to be a maximum of the last 200
messages.
Unfortunately it means that you need to request the list to return a listing and
then request the list to send the messages one message at a time to your return
email address. The listing of messages only displays up to a four digit message
number, so you can't see what the message's subject is. The returned message
contains an attachment that contains the original posted message. Not really
easy to review either. (maybe the archives are actually an anti-pattern in of
themselves).
If you wish to try to get any of the messages you can send an email to the
respective request address, containing as appropriate some of the following
commands (omit the comments though):
Example: (NOTE WARNING ***)
send email to say: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-- for
gang-of-4-patterns list......
in the body of the email use some of the following commands as required:
archive help <-- get list of commands
archive maxfiles n <-- 0 sets max number of files return to unlimited or
set to a n to limit files.
archive ls <-- list the directory structure of the archive
archive ls latest <-- list the latest directory
archive get latest/* <-- get all the messages in the latest directory
WARNING *** may return up to 200 email messages to
your email address!!!!
archive get latest/12 <-- get message 12 in the latest directory.
The approximate number of messages available through this method for each list
(name abbreviated) is:
anti 200
business 20
corba 150
dacm 80
gof 150
ipc 30
org 200
pattern-disc 200
patterns 69
scm 200
seimens 200
tel 100
Not a terribly successful exercise, hopefully the archives that were at
DistributedObjects.com can be restored somewhere in the near future for all
pattern interested parties to access.
regards,
Phil.

DistributedObjects used to be the archive. If they closed down
then as far as I know, there are no archives. I suppose we will
need to do something about that, but it won't happen for at least
a few months.

> Can anyone tell me where the pattern group archives are located?
Here's part of a note that I sent to the list a few months ago about
archives...
--- Begin ---
On a hunch, I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
the single word "help" in the body of the message. This returned a message
stating that the archives are available via ftp commands sent there through
email. Sending the command "ls latest" (latest is the name of the only
directory returned from an "ls" command) shows messages back to 10 April
2001. While this may not be the most intuitive or convenient method of
browsing the archives, they are there.

Phil,
I also tried looking at DistributedObjects.com and was unsuccessful in
finding the pattern info I was looking for. I don't have an answer to your
question, but I second it. If you do find out something, will you send it
along to me or the group?
Thanks,
Constance

Sorry, it was such a shock to see anything coming onto this list that at
first I ignored it. I can't tell you where the archives are but I can tell
you that only about five e-mails of use have been posted during the last two
years, so it may not even be worth a look. In fact the only e-mails that do
appear seem to be concerned with either unsubscribing or inviting you to a
conference.
Disappointing really.
Sorry
Andy

Subject: pattern groups archives
Hi,
I posted this to discussion earlier, but no responses:
Can anyone tell me where the pattern group archives are located?
I looked at the http://hillside.net/patterns/mailing.htm webpage and it refers
to www.DistributedObjects.com but that site seems to be up for sale? and no
archive access visible.
Have they been moved to somewhere else, or are they downloadable for somewhere
as a zip file?
Any help on locating them would be appreciated.....
Regards,
Phil.
