Ah.  I took over the domain unlambda.com and tried to reconstruct the
site as best I could.  Both Al Kossow and I ask for a tar of the old
site but didn't get one...  To bad - I would have been more than happy
to host the archive and mailing list.

If anyone has an archive or knows where one is, please let me know.

also, I think kappa is gone or in storage.

I did - hope that's ok.  I'll post anything you write (well, most
anything :-)

mmm... I noticed that too this morning but 'work' got in the way.  I'll
fix it.

Funny you should mention that 33rd bit.  I had some "issues" with that
recently and finally (duh) went back and started looking at the real
hardware...  working on the verilog version has been fun.  I suspect
that there is another latent bug (in usim) when rotating the results of
the ALU, but I have never looked into it (but will).

btw: what's a hummingbird?  is there a taxonomy of explorer
internal/external names somewhere?
