Stumbled across this recently:

Oddly enough, I found it while searching for an archive of TECO macros
to see if anyone had coded Conway's Game of Life in TECO.
Alice's PDP-10 is pretty famous, probably many copies around the net. I
just saw Rob who wrote it on Saturday night, he mentioned that when Mark
Crispin passed away a year ago, the latest versions of the TOPS-20 PANDA
sources and the mailing list went away and have yet to be recovered.
Many of us are middle-aged or elderly, any of us can get hit by a bus; I
urge all mailing list and archive site maintainers to remember to have
contingency plans.
