Hi All,

On 2025-01-11 23:58:33, I wrote to you:

 WvV> The result can be found here:

This page was updated. The archive for 2020 is now complete too. With thanks to
 Ulrich Schroeter!

 WvV> It's pretty much complete from the time I became the ZC in July 1999

 WvV> archives, or backups, or maybe even on floppy's, that can fill in the

This is still the case. So if you could check your archives and backups, that
would be really nice! ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
