Doing a quick web search, I was unable find the SGML source for the earlier
version. I cannot revert to a previous version without source.
My recommendation is to mark this as archived. When archiving, we include
disclaimer text at the start of the document (in this case, we would indicate it
is severely outdated). We should also add it to the list of unmaintained documents,
as David suggests.
A more drastic measure would be to remove it from the collection
altogether (and add it to the list of unmaintained docs).
Any preference?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Doug (Jensen).
