Okay, I've archived it under:

http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/ns/ 

next to the Japanese code. thanks, Nguyen.

Now, some minor musings on that new and very useful htdig search
function:

I'd hate to see Nader's webpages suddenly mysteriously vanish without
trace, taking the handy htmlised nsDoc <http://www.isi.edu/~salehi/ns_doc/>
with them if they do (you learn never to trust the longevity of a URL
with a tilde in it. Right, Kannan?) Would relocating/duplicating the
htmlised nsDoc to/on the mash server be a sensible thing to do
longterm?

Also, with the new search facility, it's possible to return relevant
results from ns-developers - but not to read them. This is just plain
annoying when you're trying to discover why things are the way they
are but you can't read relevant results that might shed light on the
matter. Well, you can, but feeding in phrases and then reassembling
the bitsy chunks of text that get reported back becomes a trifle
tedious after a while.

      I can take ns-developers out, I suppose, but security through
      obscurity seems short-sighted

Absolutely, John. And you've still got the VINT lists mentioned on
the conventions page, after all.

cheers,

L.
