Funny you should mention this, I was just about to post. When Brant resigned,
both John Milton and I volunteered to work on this. I felt that John would
make a better candidate, because of his greater experience with the unix-pc.
Unfortunately, John does not have FTP access, and according to Karl at OSU,
their guest account policy has "gotten weird", so he is unable to give John
a shell account, and the archive can only be maintained by FTP. John and I
were in the process of figuring out if and how we could do this together, 
where he would identify and collect items for the archives, and I would do
the physical maintenance of the archives and the monthly posting stuff. 

Lenny, if you can do this (do you have ftp access?) and would rather do it
yourself, that's OK with me. Or you could join John and I. It might be more
work than one person would want to do in their spare time, or with the three
of us it could get the attention it really deserved! Anyway, let John & I
know what you want to do. Sorry to all you other unix-pc.netters out there
for keeping you in suspense. I'll try to resolve this quickly.
