Hello, are there any valid links in the whole internet pointing to old versions of hugs? Concretely I need hugs-1.3b and all hints how to find it would be very appreciated. One may ask what the hell I want to do with this old stuff :-). My intention is to compare its parser.y file with the one of Johan Nordlanders ohugs (http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~nordland/ohugs/). Thanks in advance, Steffen Mazanek

Well, it's not a particularly flattering statement about myself but the debian version of hugs is truly ancient. In fact, there's a crew preparing to do an NMI delivery mode + takeover of the package and I've in fact been holding off on updates to allow them to progress more readily. So you can find an horrifically ancient hugs version in debian unless they've already taken it over without my noticing -- I've been a terrible maintainer, I should just retreat and package kernels for large i386 systems and get out of the hugs packaging business. -- wli

Old as the debian version is, it is not Hugs 1.3. You can find old copies of Hugs including Hugs 1.3 on Mark P Jones' web page: http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~mpj/hugsarc/index.html There are also some old Gofer versions: http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~mpj/goferarc/index.html Hugs/Gofer was a very lean and elegant system back then - in our defence though, it does a few more things and comes with a lot more libraries now. -- Alastair Reid alastair@reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk Reid Consulting (UK) Limited http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/alastair/
