A friend told me that hobbes will be going away soon. I think the date
mentioned was April. So if you need anything for OS/2 or DOS get there
soon.

I know two people that have downloaded / archived 18 GB of data from
hobbes for future serving.

One of them is actively working to try to reconstruct the dynamic aspect
of hobbes.

Another one is going to try to drive across town and get in touch with
admins in the hops of getting a copy of the back end data, scripts, etc.
for the site.

If your contacts can get a working system together, ask them to put it
all in a big clump as a torrent. That's something I'd seed for as long
as possible.

There's also https://www.os2site.com/index.html which includes a mirror
