Not quite.  Brian Reid has written a fairly good set of shell scripts that
do this, the "mod.recipes archive server."  If you send a message saying
"help" to archive-server@decwrl.dec.com (or to {ucbvax,sun,pyramid,decvax,
cbosgd,allegra}!decwrl!archive-server) you'll get info that will help you
get the sources to set up your own server.  Brian's stuff is used by several
sites around the net.

I once wrote a program to be fed mod.sources articles and archive them
based on information in the header.  It would automatically make tarfiles,
compress things, etc.  I owe the net a new version that handles all the
different source groups who use a variant of my post program with slightly
different headers.  I'm real behind in this, sorry.
