I want to add a few clarifications:
The ftp site is:	midgard.ucsc.edu
The file is:		/pub/tr/ucus-crl-90-19.ps.Z
or (without the code):	/pub/tr/ucus-crl-90-19-nocode.ps.Z

So it's from 1990.

If you need more information on garbage collection, esp. as seen from
the object-oriented camp, I've collected a set of position papers from
last years Workshop on Garbage Collection in Object Oriented Systems.

These (including a short report on the workshop) is available for ftp from:
ftp.diku.dk: in /pub/GC90/*

(The site name is a nickname for host freja.diku.dk, our old beloved VAX 785,
which is not operational this week, so you have to wait a week or more.
If you can't get access after mid-May, mail me and I'll try a work-around.)

The papers were available earlier this year at midgard, but I think
they are removed now.
