Oh Taco, if you had only posted this a few days earlier: I just deleted 
all my old collections from a couple of years ago (including 2003)! (But I 
will check another computer as well)

I just looked into my backup disk catalogue; I can tell you only the  
modification date and size of the zip:

Which files should I put on my homepage for you?
I can't promise that I'll find all the CDs and that they're still  
readable...

Great!

it seems most likely these are actually from januari 2002 or so. If the
date is accurate, the distribution has shrunk, and that normally doesn't 
happen :-)

> Which files should I put on my homepage for you?

If it is possible, I all except the one from 2003-03-17 are interesting
(that one was present already)

Looking for old ConTeXt stuff

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi,

Some of you may know that we are working on a project whose
goal is to have all releases of the ConTeXt distribution in
an on-line source repository.

For that project, we are looking for old versions of the
ConTeXt distribution. Hans Hagen, Patrick Gundlach and me had
quite a few of them among us, but we are still missing a number
of releases (we only have a complete set for 2004 and 2005).

At the end of this message is a list of all the distributions
before the year 2004 that we could find on our harddisks and
on old tex-live and 4TeX disks.

So, I have a question to all of you who have ever upgraded or
downloaded your ConTeXt distribution from the Pragma website.
Could you please have a look if there is still a zip on your
harddisk or backup somewhere?

A bit of search help: really old context-s used the filename
"context.zip" and contained a directory of MS-Dos files with
uppercase names, newer ones (since 1999) are named "cont-tmf.zip"
and contain an embedded texmf structure with lowercase names.

I'll wait until after christmas before I start filling the
repository, so there is some time yet. Don't forget: if you can
help out and want to me send files, then e-mail me directly,
do not reply to this message on the list(s)!

Thanks in advance,

Taco

Distributions we have: (For 1999-2003, the filename refers to the
date used by \contextversion in context.tex. For 1997 and 1998,
there was no \contextversion yet, so the modification date of the
newest file in the distribution is used instead)
