Well, we've been archiving it here at Ferranti and at Sugar, but in neither case are we a regular "archive" site... we don't have the resources. The big problem with archiving alt.sources is where to put files... damn few of the postings have archive-name headers, and so they get put on the TODO pile underneath all the real source. Perhaps if people were more careful about their postings there would be a few real archives out there. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180.
