	Who is archiving source and binary groups?

watmath is currently not expiring the following groups :

	comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
	comp.sources.mac
	comp.sources.unix
	comp.sources.misc
	comp.sources.x
	comp.bugs.4bsd
	comp.sys.sun
	comp.archives
	ont.archives

these groups are accessable by anonymous uucp, userid 'uucp' at
519-884-4109 or 519-886-5910 (telebits) or 519-886-5913 (1200 baud DEC DF112)
from /usr/spool/uucpnews which points to /usr/spool/news

You may also be interested in the files under /usr/spool/uucpnews_subjects
which contains article #'s and subject lines :

	README
	comp.bugs.4bsd
	comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
	comp.sources.misc
	comp.sources.unix
	comp.sys.sun
	old.comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes
	old.mod.computers.sun
	old.mod.mac.sources
	old.mod.sources
	old.mod.sources.doc
	old.net.bugs.4bsd
	old.net.sources
	old.net.sources.bugs
	old.net.sources.d
	old.net.sources.games
	old.net.sources.mac

The 'old.' groups are real newsgroups that expire ignores and can also
be accessed from /usr/spool/uucpnews
eg: watmath!/usr/spool/uucpnews/old/net/sources/277

The reason for the silly directory names is cause you can only access
stuff with a prefix of '/usr/spool/uucp'
watmath is in Waterloo, Ont.
