I see that rascal and sumex both have some of the TidBITS stacks
archived, but rascal doesn't appear to have all 53 of them, and sumex
only seems to have issues starting from last October.
Where can I find all the back issues? Is there any place where I can
get one file of all the old issues merged together, rather than having
to download and merge each of them myself?
Thanks for any information!

To tell the truth, I don't know. I've sent ALL the issues to the various sites, so if some aren't there, then they've been purged. Many TidBITS issues are very temporal short of the review lists, so that's not entirely unreasonable in this world of limited storage. > Where can I find all the back issues?

Everything leaves my Mac at 2400 baud over a uucp link, so I can send them out ONCE to someone who would guarantee that they would remain at that site and that that site would carry ALL TidBITS issues so people could always get them there. I think issue #22 to the present are easily available, so if anyone wishes to volunteer an FTP site, I'll send 1-21 to that person. And you don't really want to get the complete TidBITS Archive of all issues over the networks - it's pushing 4MB now and compresses to a bit under 2 MB with DiskDoubler or Compact Pro. Binhex that sucker and you're network link will hate you. Not to mention the hours I'd have to spend uploading at 2400 baud - ick. > Thanks for any information! You're welcome - I'd more obliging if I had a real Internet link rather than the uucp feed (which I'm still extremely fond of, mind you!) I've got now. > << Brian >> > > | Brian S.
