All articles sent to comp.sys.next are archived on brownvm.brown.edu, and
there is an automatic server there that will mail you any of the multitude of
"blocks" of articles, usually about a week's worth.  This list is called
NEXT-L, and you can find out more by emailing the command 

INFO ?

(on its own line)

to listserv@brownvm.brown.edu, the automatic list server.  You will find that
there are more specific commands for finding out about NEXT-L itself.

I have the past 10 months' worth indexed on my cube with DL...it's great
for looking up random bits of information.  All the articles are in chrono-
logical order--no other groupings have been applied (as opposed to
NextAnswers).
