Hmm, is that information from before the abysmal crash in...  uh, I
don't quite remember any more, but that was the end of the 90's or so,
where nic.lp.se more or less lost all data (yup, something had gone
really wrong with the backups, the tapes were empty!)?

If not, I've the computer that was nic.lp.se at home and can start it
up at any time and fetch the needed information, if there's something
you think you're missing.

Ah, good, I'll have a look at that then.

Thanks.
