Dave, maybe there is something useful here -

https://rebel13.nl/download/polyglot.html
https://rebel13.nl/download/poly-1.6.html
https://rebel13.nl/download/books.html

There is also a mirror of my repository that has gone off line, at http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi . It hasn't been updated recently, but should be up to date for Polyglot, as I did not make any changes there in a long time. The version I worked on is in the 'learn' branch.

Interesting, Ed, though it seems that the download links are currently broken. For example, on page https://rebel13.nl/download/polyglot.html, both of the download links under Programmer Stuff (https://rebel13.nl/dl.html?file=dl/pg.zip and https://rebel13.nl/dl.html?file=dl/Poly ... e_code.zip) don't immediately resolve, they instead go to some synthesized "Multiple Choices" page, but then neither of those two choices actually permit the download either, they all just put me back at https://rebel13.nl/ instead.

Unfortunately,

Code: Select all

git checkout https://winboard.nl/gitprojects/polyglot.git
and similar tries failed for me ("fatal: not a git repository").

Try http://winboard.nl/git/polyglot.git . That at least is an existing directory.

I know, I will make them available, maybe today, that is, if I still have them.
