  Check out my submission, called splitter.tar.Z, at both the
nova.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu archive sites. Nothing special here,
just a C program to split Usenet archives into separate threads suitable
for Librarian. An old version exists at the Purdue site in 2.0-release/
source. The new version replaces it. I fixed a couple of problems and
included some tiff's you can use in Librarian. (NOTE: If you scarfed
this up from submissions between 20:39 and 23:16 CDT on Aug 12, you got a
version with an error in it - a correct version has now replaced it in
submissions). A very thorough README file is included and explains all
the details. I find Librarian indexed archives of Usenet groups to be
a great resource, and my program allows you to update monthly instead
of waiting for someone to post a year's worth of Usenet in a format
suitable for use in Librarian.

  I really, really, really appreciate the free archive sites, but
sometimes the maintenance seems to fall behind for weeks at a time.
With the new support policies, NeXT has mentioned that it will be
more active on the net. Is it possible that NeXT will start an archive
site such as the one at Purdue, that isn't limited to after hours use?
After all, SGI does (although the size of the SGI archive is not
even close to that of nova.cc.purdue.edu's)...
