Well, certainly a fix was needed for 2000, but the bulk renaming of
previous archives was not really necessary. :) :)

Of course, it's your server and you should be able to organize the
contents as you think best.  You have been providing a reliable service
for lynx-dev for years, so reliable that we have come to take it for
granted... perhaps too much.   (Is any other place archiving the list,
or do we completely depend on FLORA for perservation of the history?)

I hope someone will - I don't have the PHP experience.
But in the meantime, could you please use the following
(or something similar)

<Location /lynx-dev/html/>
RedirectMatch permanent ^/lynx-dev/html/month([01][0-9])9([6-9]/.*) 
/lynx-dev/html/month$1199$2
</Location>

I've actually tested it a bit on a local Apache/1.3.3 (wasn't quite
sure about the regex syntax and $1followedbydigits, this works for me).
