>1) Is there a digest of past messages?

Not formally, but I have saved (almost) every message to the list
since November 1991 in an MH folder (i.e. one file per message). I
can make this available by anonymous ftp. Do people have preferences
for the format I should use? I could make a tar file of the entire
folder, just copy all the files, or perhaps some fancy digest format.
Easiest to update for me would be a copy of the entire folder (I would
use rdist to add recent messages) but I can imagine this would be hard
to use. If you have a preference, speak up!

>2) Now that we have dynamic linking, has anybody done any stub generation
>for Sun RPC?

Not me, sorry.

BTW if people who write useful Python code could mail it to me or at
least tell me about its existence, I can compile a catalog. If you do
this within a week or two the catalog can be part of the next release,
0.9.8 (I'm going to skip 0.9.7 since a lot has changed since 0.9.7beta).

Cheers all,
