Ah, I begin to see something here.  There is an assumption being made
that the main level of the archive seperates the VOLUMES of the group
from each other.

I am working in a Cnews environment and use the explist to stash all the
articles into an archive Spool as they expire.  Then, as part of the
daily administration for Cnews, I have the Spool directories processed
to place the articles into a simple directory/part area.  I don't
particularly care about the volume number as that complicates finding
a package.
	(My archives, btw, are not complete, but rather hold the recent
few months of the groups and also keep the most recent versions of the
"classic" tools (like patch or dmake) )
