Who is archiving source and binary groups? I recall that someone in Toronto used to archive all of comp.sources.misc, but that was a while ago.. Personally, I am specifically interested in comp.binaries.mac, but a general list might be a good idea. -- Reid Ellis geaclib!rae@geac.uucp

Sorry for the delay, I was planning on a more complete answer than this. tmsoft archives comp.sources.{unix,misc,x} We unfortunately don't support anonymous uucp (and we're not on Onet), but are willing to arrange short term uucp access, and accept new long term connections as long as you pay any long-distance costs involved. Someday we will support anon-uucp, when I can be convinced I won't have a security problem with it. >Personally, I am specifically interested in comp.binaries.mac, but a >general list might be a good idea. Sorry, we expire binary groups after 2 days. ../Dave

Who is archiving source and binary groups?
watmath is currently not expiring the following groups :
comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
comp.sources.mac
comp.sources.unix
comp.sources.misc
comp.sources.x
comp.bugs.4bsd
comp.sys.sun
comp.archives
ont.archives
these groups are accessable by anonymous uucp, userid 'uucp' at
519-884-4109 or 519-886-5910 (telebits) or 519-886-5913 (1200 baud DEC DF112)
from /usr/spool/uucpnews which points to /usr/spool/news
You may also be interested in the files under /usr/spool/uucpnews_subjects
which contains article #'s and subject lines :
README
comp.bugs.4bsd
comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
comp.sources.misc
comp.sources.unix
comp.sys.sun
old.comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
old.mod.computers.sun
old.mod.mac.sources
old.mod.sources
old.mod.sources.doc
old.net.bugs.4bsd
old.net.sources
old.net.sources.bugs
old.net.sources.d
old.net.sources.games
old.net.sources.mac
The 'old.' groups are real newsgroups that expire ignores and can also
be accessed from /usr/spool/uucpnews
eg: watmath!/usr/spool/uucpnews/old/net/sources/277
The reason for the silly directory names is cause you can only access
stuff with a prefix of '/usr/spool/uucp'
watmath is in Waterloo, Ont.
