=========
Arch_oldnews creates "nice" (but BIG) output
suitable for printing out on a line printer.
I use it to keep hardcopy listings of the
news articles when I expire them, so that
conceivably people could search through the
listings to find interesting articles and
retrieve them from the tapes. Anyway, it is
useful. This program grew to about 5 times
its original size and could very reasonably
become a C program now.
