[db-wg] Re: Need help with ripe-dbase-2.3

Dear Alex

Unfortunately version 2 of the RIPE Database code was taken out of
production more than 5 years ago. We have archives of the code but no
one at the RIPE NCC works on it now. I am sorry but we are unable to
assist you with this problem.

I have copied this email to the Database Working Group in case some one
in the community can assist you. Maybe there are others still running
this version of the code.

Regards
Denis Walker
