Ho Gang:

I've finally finished wading through the 300+ files that have
been posted to the comp.binaries.apple2 group in the past 6
months.  In the process, I've cursed up a storm at all the bonehead,
unthinking people that insist on posting questions and holding
discussions on a binaries group, also at the people who post items
without a single bloody description.  This sentence here is a quiet
call for a moderated comp.binaries.apple2 group.  But anyway, on
to the relevent details.

For those of you interested in what's been posted, there
are two files on wuarchive.wustl.edu, in the 
/archive/usenet/comp.binaries.apple2 directory called
'recent-files-{short,long}.txt' that hold a report of what's been
added.  The short form is a one article per line format,
while the long form adds the description (if any) of the file.

** Please note **

The format of these files was created for my convenience and use for
archiving the postings.  The line length of these files is over
200 chars.  There's a bunch of information there, and I hate multi-
line reports when postscript printers are available.  It's one
hell of a perl script that produces this output.  I almost went 
the final step and added a nulib check to the code, but I was
getting tired of staring at a growing mound of postings dating
back to july.

** Enjoy **   

wuarchive.wustl.edu is now fairly up-to-date.  The ls-lR file is an 
accurate picture of what is there.

Oh, how many files were posted in roughly 3 months?  Well, the 
first article dated 13/jul/90 is 890, and the last article dates
30/nov/90 is 1337.  Roughly 400 files, after the other guano was
filtered out.
