In <2163@papaya.bbn.com> I announced a copy of all r.h.f articles on
BBN and UUNET.  I said I might have some scripts to do some indexing
and typesettig.

You get what you pay for.  Someone wants to run off a bunch of Usenet news
articles and call that a "book" well, more power to them.  I much prefer
the mod.recipes/alt.gourmand approach to hardcopy than the r.h.f approach,
but hey -- everyone's different.  I bought a book last year, I might buy
one this year.  I like the drawings your brother Ty does, and the work you
put into it makes it better than anything a few simple scripts could do.

Why am I doing making the archive available?  Simple:  archives of moderated
newsgroups should be freely and widely available; that's one of the major
benefits of such groups.

You are the first person to post anything at all about this.
