Here is a summary of the archive discussion in the thread that got off track.
]Guess who spent the down time reading archives! Amy, What are the archives that Anna is talking about.Do you mean you have files of messages?If so could you e-mail them to me.Thanks.
IF
------------------------------------------------------------------------
] ... if you were aware how enormous the archive is. Tell her, Anna. You are welcome to them, of course, IF. It just takes my 14,4 modem a couple hours to send them and I always like make certain people know what they are in for. Usually I send the first 1,000 messages first. Then wait for somebody -- like Anna -- to say, "more chunks, please."
Amy

Irene - amy is right, there are alot of archives - hours of fun. I received them over an ethernet connection at 10mb, so that was no problem for me. I'm terminally tidy, so deleted some of the early zip files after I'd read them, but I kept the later ones (list later if needed). Amy, if Irene does want them I'd be happy to forward the ones you sent me.
Anna
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, would you, Anna? That would be great. You guys work it out.
Amy

re the archive files;
I'll check which I have when I get to work tommorrow (Mon Eve USA time) and post a list of the ones I have, sizes etc. Then anyone who wants some or all can email me and I will email them back as attachments to a return message.
in passing - I'd forgotten which thread this had come up in and had to scroll through them all to find it. Spring has some advantages (especially the 'new' button when one is in a hurry), but when it comes to seeing where all the threads are going, the multi system had alot to offer
Anna

Irene, and anyone else interested in the archives from Amy's board. The files I have are;
15-2m.zip 550 kb
2m-25.zip 764 kb
3m-35.zip 743 kb
35-4m.zip 564 kb
4m-45.zip 830 kb
they're all zip files, and run from the start of the board up to about the beginning of November. I'll email a copy of any or all to anyone who wishes. Just send me an email (via thelink above) stating which you want (if you've got a slow link you may prefer them one at a time). I use Eudora for my email, the default code I use for encoding attachments is mime, if your system can't cope with mime I can also do uuencode or binhex, please let me know if you prefer one of these. I use this email address
in office hours here; ~ Sunday to Thursday evenings in the USA, so there might be a slight dealy in your receiving a reply.
The no.s in the names of the files refer to the number of the message. I started with 1-999, then jumped to 2,500, which is about when the R&V started, and went back later. If you're thoroughly familiar with P&P and P&P2 jumping around causes no confusion. I'm missing 1-999, 1m-1.5 and 2.5-3m, due to some over enthusiastic spring cleaning. Amy has the other files.
Amy, if past experience leads you to think there will be several people wanting copies of the archive files, I'd be happy to act as intermediary if you wish. Otherwise they could email you directly for the files I don't have. I'm happy either way.
Anna
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna, you are an angel. I take back my request for you to host. This can be your job so long as you wish to have it. If you ever start to get tired of having it or resent it or regret you offered, let me know immediately. Please. I am excessively attentive to all these things.

Amy, it's not likely to present a big problem to me; I've sent out one set, it took about 5 minutes to set-up and 1 minute to send. Others should be faster as I can recycle the first missive for subsequent requests. It may occaisionally take me a day or 2 to reply, if I'm working at a remote site or at home, but I can't see that that will present a significant problem since it's archived material anyway.

Great, Anna. I will send you the sets you don't have.
Gotta think how to save this material. Nothing is wiped out yet.

Amy, are these archive files on your bluemarble site ? if so, I believe if you
list their directory/filenames, people can just download them using netscape (I think other browser can do it too).

Yeah, Zim, I would figure out how to do that. I just haven't had the space.

Anna, BTW you mentioned in the other thread -- I don't think I preserved it here -- that this format makes it hard to find messages.
Well it would help if I did more moving and changing of topic names like I just did; it will be easier when I can do it from the prompt.
In addition, though, you know there is a search function on the first page of the conference. It's pretty cool.

thanks Amy - I didn't know. I hope to get to the rest of spring (especially the help file) sometime soon - just as soon as I finish Austen here, at Alicia's, AustenL, Pemberley DR. I keep on getting interrupted by boring things (work, food, sleep) - isn't it a pain when reality intrudes on one's obsessions!

Someone trashed the landline to Newcastle Uni over the week-end, so I can't send or receive email through my listed address. They have minions working on it - they said it would be fixed today, but it wasn't...
I'm posting this from my home account, but I run that over a 14.4k modem, so I'd rather not send any large files over it unless essential.
I'll let you know when I'm back on line.

I have to confess I've so far read 1 -- 3500 archives! Is there a 12 Step Program I can apply to in the Los Angeles area?

More options for the archives; on investigating 1-999.zip I found it contained another zip file with duplicate material from the 2000's in it, so I have redone it without the extra material as 1-999a.zip, 1.2mb, and I'll send that out to future requests .
I've also repackged the first 999 files after overloading someone's mailbox. The resultant files are
1-99.zip 27 kb
1h-199.zip 120 kb
2h-299.zip 110 kb
3h-399.zip 125 kb
4h-499.zip 140 kb
5h-599.zip 134 kb
6h-699.zip 123 kb
7h-799.zip 108 kb
8h-899.zip 140 kb
9h-999.zip 154 kb
most people have had no trouble with the larger files one at a time, but if you know you have a very limited capacity I can send the above files out instead. I haven't repacked the later files; I'll do that when/if I get a specific request.
