Marcel, do you have contact with any of the other contributors? Or possibly a CVS/RCS repository or an archive of all the versions from 1988 to 2003, from which the contributed patches could be extracted so that they can be removed/rewritten? I'm also concerned about the changes from 1986 that mention bogart:/usr/alla/zap/ - I assume that is a different person from bogart:/usr/alla/svante/ ? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
