Dear Karl,
The MCSim mailing list are still alive. I am the developer of the MCSim program
and it is more and more in use. I stopped following the mcsim-help and
mcsim-bug mailing lists because they were badly spammed, and I had offered to
monitor them, but without answer. So I started answering questions about the
software from my private email. But having the list would be helpful to anyone.
Now I have been pointed to gmane, which is good, and I am using the
spam-blocking feature to clean the list. That's how I got finally to your email.
So: I can help moderate the mcsim lists if you want.
Best regards.
Frederic Bois
