Well, you misunderstood me. I'm running Allegro Source Browser (see at
http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~sroh7497/allegro) which offers archives,
on-line docs as well as htmlised sources. I announced that I ran out of
space and had to delete WIP versions older than 3.9.32. I forgot to wrote
URL (so that's why I'm CCing this to AD).
Have a nice day,
