GENERAL
========
This  is  a  mirror  of  Compaq's  website  for  back  issues  of  the
DIGITAL Techical Journal,  at  the current  time of  writing  (17th of
November 2003) available at:

         http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ/

All content mirrored  here is created  and owned by  HP/Compaq, unless
otherwise stated. No modifications to the content has been made except
for those mentioned in the MIRROR section below.  This  mirror archive
was created and is  made  available  for preservational purposes only.

         This document, the complete archive and a tarball
                       of both can be found at:

MIRROR
=======
A  few  minor  modifications to  the  HTML code  was made  during  the
mirroring process, which  will be described below.  The  scripts below
use GNU-specific extensions  of "find",  but otherwise  only utilitize
UNIX standard commands and -line arguments.

 The bulk of the site was mirrored using GNU wget:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   wget --mirror --no-parent \
     'http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ/'
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 A number of  references to absolute  URLs existed, first we needed to
 get these files:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   DECURL="www.research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ/"
   find . -type f -iname "*.htm*" | \
        xargs -n1 sed -n 's/.*\/info\/\([^ "]*\).*/\1/p' | \
        while read LINE ; do if [ \! -f "${DECURL}${LINE}" ] ; then \
          wget --force-directories "http://${DECURL}${LINE}" ; else \
          echo "We already have ${LINE}. (Won't fetch)" ; fi ; done
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 We also need to change all absolute URLs to relative ones:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   cd "www.research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ"
   find . -type f -iname '*.htm*' -exec grep -l '/info/' {} \; | \
    while read LINE ; do
      echo "Fixing '${LINE}'."
      SLASHES="`echo -n ${LINE} | sed 's/[^/]//g' | cut -c2- | sed 's/\//..\\\\\//g'`"
      ed "${LINE}" <<EOF
        ,s/\/info\//${SLASHES}/g
        w
        q
EOF
    done
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 The first time I  mirrored the archive I stumbled onto a bug in wget,
 making it  miss a number  of files.  If this happens,  run wget again
 with the following arguments:
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    wget -r --no-parent --no-clobber \
      'http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ/'
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 and re-run the scripts above to fix broken links.


Aside from these alterations, no modifications where made. The content
is exactly the way  HP/Compaq/Digital  published it on  their website.
