Hmmm... The Javien forum definitely goes back to 1995 (though there seems
to be a gap between Oct. 1995 and July 1996 [go back to the first and next
couple of pages in the list]).  So the messages are there.  But Mike is
right that there is a problem with the search function that it only
seems to go back to December 2001.

I'll ask Dave about it and see what I can find out.
