    You can use archive.org .

    https://web.archive.org/web/20250818181227/https://github.com/sal55/langs/blob/master/mfeatures.md

    If you want to find the exact reference, cobble this together in a browser. The asterisk
    means "find all dates which match the URL". Accessing one of the dates on the resulting
    calendar graphic, converts the asterisk, into a numeric date string. Some days, the archive
    does more than one snapshot of a website. Archive storage is deduplicated. If a document
    has never changed, there can be many "capture" dates but they all point to the same
    file instance on the server.

    https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://github.com/sal55/langs/tree/master/MLanguage/Mfeatures.md

    In cases where a source website has a contract with archive.org, the calendar page
    can be filled with captures. In cases where a website is obscure, there are very few
    captures indeed. In some cases, the history is so long, you can see three epochs
    where different companies have owned a URL and different products are handled there.

    Oh, for that document?

    That no longer exists because I deleted it! I mentioned it in case
    someone reading my post now, wanted to have a look. I guess they can now thanks to your link.

    I wanted to know whether that 'enlightenment' was positive or negative.
    I'm assuming the latter.

    Congratulations, Bart - you beat Tim at his own game of replying months
    after everyone else had forgotten what they were talking about! :-)
