[ih] Really old list archives

[Barbara Denny]

 Trimmed what I included from other people in hopes this email won't get rejected.

While searching for something else in my garage today I found a couple items regarding EGP.  One is a message from Dave Mills (mills at dcn6) with a subject of "Revised EGP model clarified and discussed".   It was sent to egp-people at bbnu and cc to iccb at bbnu. The received line on the header to me says bbn-unix received it from  dcn6.arpa and the sri-kl.arpa got it from bbnccq.  Interesting mix of naming.  BTW the sri-kl info indicates it came with TCP.   This email was dated May 2, 1984 if interested. Perhaps people should be looking for bbnu as well.
The second EGP item is entitled Notes on the EGP' design meeting (no date on my copy or author ). This is actually very detailed.
If anyone wants me to do more with these items,  let me know.

 Well, I can't remember doing it, but setting up iccb at bbn-unix sounds 
like something I would have done.  It was almost certainly just a 
distribution list, with no archive.  So any mail sent to iccb at bbn.unix 
would have been sent to all the mailboxes configured onto that list at 
the time, which could have been local to BBN, or anywhere else on the 
Internet.

The "/usr/haverty/journals/namedroppers*@bbnq" probably was an archive 
file for namedroppers, in my home directory on BBNQ (we had a lot of 
small Unix systems at that time).  I don't remember that there was any 
archiving scheme for those machines, or whether any tapes from that long 
ago would survive.  But maybe somewhere in some basement or attic... Jack
