Mersenne Digest Wednesday, January 17 2001 Volume 01 : Number 809 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 11:06:08 -0600 From: "Griffith, Shaun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mersenne: List Archive? Are the list archives still kept somewhere? If not, does it make sense to move the list to a space that does? Recently the primenumbers list moved to egroups, for example. I don't know if that will satisfy our needs, or if there are other options. However, I haven't been able to search the archives in the usual places for posts more recently than February '98 (http://www2.netdoor.com/~acurry/mersenne/) or August '98 (http://www.scruz.net/~luke/archives/digest/). The New Zealand mirror page has been moved or removed. My personal archives go back to about January '98, though I haven't checked through them for completeness. It would be a shame if recent postings such as Peter-Lawrence Montgomery's excellent discourse on carry propagation remained lost to newcomers (and old hats who have purged their mail). I was just hoping to start a discussion on the state of the list archive. - -Shaun _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 18:10:24 -0600 From: Nathan Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mersenne: List Archive?
