Archive-name: auto/sci.space/Space-DIgest-Archives

At long last, an archive of Space Digest is available for anonymous  
ftp on julius.cs.qub.ac.uk in pub/SpaceDigestArchives.

Each volume of space digest going back to V1 in 1981 is available as  
a single tar.Z file. Early volumes are quite reasonable in size.  
Recent ones are a bit out of hand due to people reposting large  
bodies of usually unnecessary text.

For those who have Digital Librarian, each volume is pre-indexed. The  
index makes it an extremely valuable research tool.

The file sizes run from 1-9 MB.

As movies ads would say 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING. I believe Gene Miya  
and Henry Spencer and I first started discussing the need for this in  
1986 or 87.

And I wish to thank the help and encouragement in this project over  
the years (most of which were spent in procrastination, but that's  
beside the point):

	Ted Anderson
	Eugene Miya
	Todd Masco
	Mark Maimone
	Bill Higgins
	Henry Spencer

There is a README file that describes where the issues came from and  
lists what is currently missing/truncated, etc. I will try to fill in  
the gaps over the next 5 years :-)

I will update from time to time as the holes are filled in. The  
current volume will always be available from isu.isunet.edu. I may or  
may not have it on line here until it "closes".

PS: This might as well be added to the FAQ resource list.
