The entire AI database is on-line at www.ada-auth.org/~acats. What do
you want that isn't there?

The individual AIs live in the CVS version control system, so it is
possible to retrieve old versions as well as the current ones. (This is
a capability that I wish was available going much further back, as it
would cut off some silly discussions quickly.)

The files are text files; converting them to useful HTML is non-trivial.
I tried writing a program to do it for the defect reports, but it took a
lot of tweaking of both the program and the AIs to get it to handle a
subset of the content of that subset of AIs. Doing it in general
(especially the e-mail found at the end) is virtually impossible. (Of
course, just converting the files to HTML without adding any formatting
or links would be worthless, as it would not add any value.)
