Tad Guy expressed an unwillingness for xanth to be 'just another' archive site
for Atari ST stuff.  There exist several unique niches to be filled.  What
exists now is an 'automatic' archive of comp.sources/binaries.atari.st at
panarthea which is very well connected, but operates only in mail-response
mode, and an ftp-only archive with greater coverage, but in which article names
are not guaranteed to match those given by the moderator, at terminator.  The
obvious unfilled niches are an 'automatic' archive reachable through ftp
and a mail-response archive containing the large and/or obscure items now
available only from terminator.  The uucp and mail-response archive that
used to exist on killer seems to have been phased out on attctc (but if you
haven't checked them lately, do so: other parts of their collection have
expanded wonderfully).  Another empty niche is a BBS with an explicit connection
to the ST newsgroups (the IBM PC newsgroups have something like that).  And
however guilty I feel to say it, I'm not volunteering to set up any of these,
but there are the opportunities to be a unique resource.
