Hi, BTW: I have red taped www.jekejeke.ch on Wayback Machine . Red Taping is a legal process which took a few steps, like E-mail verification and DNS verifcation, I had to provide the whole history that I owned www.jekejeke.ch, and it is not temporary , its irreversible, since I do not intend to remove the red tape. But the "red tape" metaphor is spot on. The content is not actually deleted from their servers. It is made inaccessible to the public. So certain institution if there is a need might still access it. But if I am run over by a tram tomorrow, not sure whether I have a good Software-Escrow for Jekejeke Prolog. Currently you can assume that my company XLOG Technologies AG is resposible for carrying out or delegating the Software-Escrow of Jekejeke Prolog. And the company still exists, it exists in active form, unlike some other Prolog involved companies. Bye Mild Shock schrieb: > Amzi!
