I extracted all the information from the> archives today, 2011-10-11. The scripts I used to create https://github.com/lyda/tz are here: https://github.com/lyda/tz-history-scripts . In addition to the scripts and instructions, there's some information I've found from my research and from what some people have sent me. In tz-history-scripts I include a list of missing archives from munnari.oz.au and some info about them in item #2 of the decisions / issue section of the README file: https://raw.github.com/lyda/tz-history-scripts/master/README The scripts at the base of https://github.com/lyda/tz-history-scripts were used to determine that list. In addition to the mailing list and ftp site, there were the early releases on usenet. This directory has the messages they were announced in https://github.com/lyda/tz-history-scripts/tree/master/work-usenet and includes releases from 1986 to 1989. Annoyingly there's a four year gap till the first release mentioned on the mailing list. Kevin -- Kevin Lyda Dublin, Ireland US Citizen overseas? We can vote.
