We can close them. 0.93R6 will be shot dead soon. Those who know how do deal
with a tape drive know where to get the sources --- this package required
kernel sources anyway (for 1.2) and was an odd beast, as far as I am
concerned. Good that it is orphaned.
I can't close them as I don't have the bug reports here. I would have to get
through the 160 kB in the web page to get them and the addresses of the bug
report submitter.

Sure, but your damn close to the bug report system :-)
