Title: NeXTanswers restoration and availability project
Post by: RacerX on December 10, 2008, 07:18:43 PM
After a display of expletives by one of our members worthy of those used by the governor of Illinois :eek:, I'm guessing that there is some interest in the community for NeXTanswers (above and beyond the Nov. 21, 1997 collection (http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/software/nextanswers/nextanswers_index.html)). I had started (a while back) converting what I had into html and planned on a single PDF document version, but I hadn't seen much interest in it so I set it aside (while I was working on my RhapsodyAnswers project (http://www.rhapsodyos.org/misc/rhapsodyanswers/RhapsodyAnswers_1.html)).

The first significant step towards this goal would be to make sure we have articles that are missing from the 1997 collection. Without spending too much time on this, here is a quick list of articles I believe are not part of that collection...If there are articles that I am missing here (that aren't already part of the 1997 collection (http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/next/software/nextanswers/nextanswers_index.html)) that you know of please post the title and number (if possible). I'll do my best to recover as many of these articles as possible, but I know that Apple has been slowly removing older articles over time so I may not be able to fully cover this list.

Here's three that I didn't see in your list or the 1997 archive, although I may have overlooked them.

2607 Using the GDB Debugger

2645 Motorola Hardware QA

2667 NeXTSTEP Boot And Driver Floppy Images

When Apple first transitioned the NeXTanswers over to their site they simply added the number 7 as a prefix to the original NeXTanswers number.  So NeXTanswers #2607 became Apple Technical Article #72607.  Now it appears they have renumbered them again.  Apple Technical Article #72607 is now Article #TA45906.  :?
