A compressed tar file of all articles from February, 1989, to November 18, 1989, is available for anonymous FTP from bbn.com: ~/pub/rhf.1989.tar.Z It is 685K. The archive will probably be available on uunet shortly in the same place; UUCP customers of UUNET will have to ask their sysadmin or their Uunet contact how to directly UUCP the file ~/pub/rhf.1989.tar.Z if they don't already know -- the mail-based server will not work. I had hoped to have some scripts ready that would make it easy to typset and index the jokes, but I haven't had the time. If I get around to it I will post the note in these groups, too. Please note that as long as their have been moderated groups on Usenet there have been accessible archives of them. This is no different. This archive availability is not an official statement of BBN, it is just a service that may go away at any time following the commonly- understood international conventions for anonymous FTP: no warrantee, guarantee, etc. I am not an employee of UUNET Communications Serives, Inc., nor am I authorized to speak for them. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.

Gee, if you have programs that can duplicate the scores of hours I spent proofing, editing, correcting and formatting the rather coarse material that's submitted into a book, all I wanna know is, how much money do you want for them? You got an eager customer lined up right here.o Sigh. And here I was foolishly thinking that things would go calmly this year. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
