Gee, we have around 25 megs of amiga stuff  from usenet archived 
(a lot of that is compressed file size), not counting things from 
this month that haven't expired yet.  Probably some more somewhere 
on tape.  Sorry re dumping on your bix advantage, but it's hard to
resist :-)

That is a lot to search through.  Even if a new user wrote
a shell script to do the searching, he probably would have trouble
coming up with good parameters to search on.
