Great work! This is such a useful resource.
One question though: a lot of documents were only hosted on vt100.net, have
these documents also been moved?
Regards
Rob

Subject: the new manx is live
Manx is an online catalog of computer documentation.
The new manx is up for beta testing here: <http://manx.classiccmp.org>
Paul Williams created manx as a series of perl scripts and a database of
online
computer manuals. Paul has graciously provided us
with a copy of the data
from the database from which I reverse engineered a compatible
implementation in PHP. Later, Paul provided me with the perl scripts
which I
used as a referene for finishing off the PHP
implementation.
The new manx is an open source project hosted at
<http://manx.codeplex.com>.
Please use the issue tracker on codeplex to report any problems you find
with this new manx. You can also browse the existing issues in the
tracker to
see the planned enhancements. The main planned
enhancement to come is
supporting users and roles to allow community contributions to the
database
so that new additions don't have to go through a
single person.
Thanks to Paul Williams for providing the database dumps and scripts and
Jay
West for hosting the finished application.
