[comp.sys.next] Is Anybody Saving "comp.sys.next" messages?

drapeau@choctaw.Stanford.EDU (George Drapeau) (11/11/89)

Has anybody been saving the messages from this newsgroup over the
months and saved them on disk?  If there's an archive somewhere, I'd
love to know where it is (I'd like my own copy of all the messages that have
been posted to this group).

Thanks in advance,

	George

Yes, there's an FTP archive.  Someday to be an email archive when I get
time (I'll post when it's available, so don't flood me with more mail).

The site is "cc.purdue.edu" (128.210.9.2).  Anonymous ftp, supply your
user@host as the password.  This newsgroup is archived in the directory
pub/next/news, typically in files containing a month's summary, minus a
few headers to save bytes.

Also, the new version of Tools is available with Postit support by Andrew
Stone.  Pretty neat stuff.

Submissions to the archive should be sent to 'next-archive@cc.purdue.edu'.
They can be uuencoded, tared, compressed, NeXT attachments, shar's, or most
anything I can figure out how to pull apart.
