Kevin,
>Actually, if David Stephenson is reading this, I had assumed (dangerous word) that a subscription included access to the entire history. I wasn't aware of any articles that weren't available (unless they were so far back that no electronic version was ever available? just a guess...)
I am very tempted to edit your first sentence above. The fact is that your assumption is not dependent on whether I am reading this. *gd&r*
Anyhoo, Sergey is correct that the online access to FoxTalk articles goes back to 1996, but not before. I honestly don't know if that will ever change, because I don't know if the publisher has all the prior articles in a suitable format for adding to the online archive. We made a special effort last year to extend the online material from 1999 all the way back to '96, which involved a lot of effort from the publisher, and I was very happy that they agreed to do even that much as a free added value for subscribers.
I hope that one day all the prior articles will be available, but I'm not in a position to influence that now. Still, the archives from '96 forward include a wealth of great material!
