[Tig] 12 years ago in the TIG

[Rob Lingelbach]

Ted Langdell suggested that once in a while a posting like this can  
go out, which echoes the
TIG wiki 'thread compilation' sections in their various forms.    
Because I don't want to get into
recursive archival redundance, I won't post the actual text of old  
messages to the group, but
just refer to the link in the archives.   This is similar to what  
newspapers do with "100 years
ago today" ( what was the Paul McCartney line in Sgt. Pepper's? i  
think 20. )

The thread from May 1995 on CRT Dust is still relevant for those  
running CRT-based telecines,
and the posting I'll be compiling with others into a container for  
the wiki is Kevin Shaw's at
http://www.tele.com/pipermail/oldtig-mhonarc/1994-5/msg00517.html

The TIG archives search is fine-tuned now to include selections for  
long and short output
of results, and this incarnation of what I recall have been about 5  
different algorithms over
the years looks like the best.   The search results don't include  
index drek and the gzipped
txt files that also make up the archives.  Search is available at
http://tig.colorist.org/pipermail/tig/      or
http://www.colorist.org/htdig/sample/search.html
  and I suggest selecting the long format output.

speaking of formatting, I need soon to figure out how, in Mac's OS X  
mail client, to force
Carriage Returns-Linefeed characters at 70 columns, if anyone knows  
the answer, please
advise thanks.
