These files can either be browsed using a normal text editor or, more usefully, using the DSDN (Dolphin Smalltalk Documentation and News) application available from Bill Schwab's DSDN page. This is a tool which collects together information from the Dolphin image, Education Centre and Newsgroup Archive files downloaded from this page and allows them to be viewed and searched as one resource.
A standalone news archive browser is included in my standard Goodies package.
The full uncompressed archive contains a total of 36341 articles and needs 46.6 MB of disc space.
The zip files for 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 contain all the news articles for the appropriate year organized into four text files, one for each quarter; from 2001 onwards this yearly zip file will contain the articles on a monthly basis. The articles for individual months in the current year will also be available as a single zipped text file and be made available on the first day (usually) of the following month.
Disclaimer
The contents of these files are all the articles that I have seen in the Dolphin Newsgroups or on the Dolphin Mailing List during the period indicated. I have however removed ...
- Spam, tests and articles which have obviously been sent to the group in error.
- From September 2001 I have removed some cross-posted threads (usually from comp.lang.smalltalk) that have no direct relevance to Dolphin Smalltalk.
- From March 2003 I have removed a few articles that either contain personal abuse or content that I do not consider to be appropriate for retention in this newsgroup archive.
I have made no changes to the content of any of the articles available in this archive so the views expressed within them are those of the original author.
