    I posted the link twice in a row in the URL field and I can no longer edit it. The correct link is:

      Thanks for posting the link. Look back at typesetting in the old times. A lost art. Set the tone for what would come later. In some ways it looks like markdown.

    It sure looks like a Borland IDE.

    Responsible organizations have other options, such as stopping accepting new submissions when storage space runs out, or looking for a new good home for the excess material they can no longer store. Or, at the very least, notify the original submitter they can no longer store the material.

    You're welcome. It's an interesting perspective as I wonder how modern users approach effectively alien systems they aren't familiar with.

    I get a 404 from the link as the website is likely not accessible from Europe where I am.
