I located a one-off backup to CD-ROM back in September 2005.  From the CD I've
isolated a message area in Squish format for the IC discussions, where the P4
change motions were fielded.  It's unlikely that there might have been enough
traffic since to maintenance the critical posts to the bit-bucket, so I'm
hopeful.

No guarantees.  I was toying with both JAM & Squish areas so I'm not sure the
format was available during the subject debates, etc.  The main text file is
roughly 3Mb in size so there's something there.  My next move is to formulate
some wizardry in GoldEd to access the posts in that IC echo, in a VirtualBox XP
system.

There's a "but first" job to do beforehand: Sundays are set aside for
system-wide backups on two host PCs and four virtual systems.  I'm already 3/4
through that process.  However today I also have another Ubuntu 'update',
probably also requiring a power-cycle... I hate it when they do that.  So...

Before I start, I have to ask if you can use Squish-formatted areas directly. 
Can you read them?

Cheers,
Paul.
