I know it says these sources will be coming soon, but is it possible to speed up the process? I'd really like to be able to examine the earlier iterations in the series, to help myself understand the basics and how the pieces came about and fit together.

Thanks for the reminder. I have had to move and things were stuck in a box. Since what I have is a hard printed copy of the documents, gracefully sent by Marsha and Daniel Defays, I'll just try to scan them with minimum damage, so they'll be good for study, but they will need at least OCR before trying to run anything.

I'm now traveling, but I MUST get this done in January! Thanks again!

Hallo, any progress on this yet? I don't want to be too impatient, but I am still trying to figure this out, and seeing earlier iterations would be very helpful.

Hm; not yet. We will be going to the house in which the materials are stored later this month, so I think by mid February we'll have some material posted. We tried to find ways to scan the hardcopies without destroying them, but the best we could find was still not perfect.

I will post here on this issue, so you may get an alert, ok?

Alright, awesome, thank you!

Hi, I'm at the house, and I plan to scan the material this upcoming week. So by Feb 15 "it's guaranteed" (hehe) that we'll have it all.

As for copycat, I can only point you to the many implementations contained in this repository. Please take a look at the copycat implementations table, choose your favorite language, and enjoy!

Hi; Numbo is now online, as a pdf only... which is the best we could do for now. I hope to have a running version of it as soon as possible, but time constraints and all other priorities make it a gambler's bet as to when it will be available.

I have Marsha Meredith's here, and the code is pretty massive, in those old dot-matrix printers, so it should take a while for me to post --- though I do want to do it asap!

Thanks for the patience! If you're skilled on those things, maybe you could help OCR'ing the Numbo scan, just perhaps?

I have absolutely zero experience with OCR'ing, but I am going to be looking at it and trying to code it into something working, though it'll be in python, not lisp. I'll see about posting it, if I think the code is reasonable? Gonna take a while, though.

Oh, what about Jumbo? You removed it from the title, but theres no mention of it in discussion, and it's not present in the project. Is it's source simply not available?
