Actually not even the first incarnation was complete, since the
greater part of 1995 also belongs to that.

* 1. disney-comics: Managed by hand.  1992-08--
* 2. dcomics: Managed with SmartList. 1995-11--
* 3. dcml: Managed with Mailman.      1999-11--

Three years ago I added the first few months of the list to the
current list archive for nostalgic reasons.  That was the day the list
turned 10 years old.  Today it's 13 years old.  (A teenager!)

Because of this I've rebuilt the list web archive with all of the
first incarnation now, available at
<http://stp.ling.uu.se/pipermail/dcml/>.

My intention was of course to restore the full archive today as a
birthday gift, but, alas, I can't find the archives of the second
incarnation myself! I know I should have it somewhere! (Maybe when the
list turns 313 years old...)

I should be able to find it on a backup tape if nowhere else, but
meanwhile I'm also interested in what other complete collections from
that time there are.
