1551.0. "AMIGA_USENET,_TECH need help!" by VTHRAX::KIP (No Dukes.) Tue Jul 19 1988 17:45

    The notesfiles AMIGA_USENET and AMIGA_TECH need a home!
    
    These are extremely useful notesfiles which act as an archive for
    all of the fairly recent Amiga postings on the Usenet.
    
    The fellow who has been maintaining them is moving and cannot continue;
    I volunteered to take them over but don't have enough disk space
    on my machine (the larger of the notesfiles hovers around 70K blocks,
    plus he told me a VAXstar really doesn't have enough CPU power.)
    
    Maintaining these files requires little effort; an automatic program
    (can't remember its name right now) gets the entries from one of
    our uucp gateways and puts them into the notes.
    
    Does anybody out there agree that these are worth saving????
    
    How about a volunteer?

1551.1 Maybe... CRISTA::CAPRICCIOWhat about pointed sticks?Sun Jul 31 1988 23:239
    I may be interested in maintaining the notes files in question, but
    a search of EasyNotes.Lis doesn't show either one. That doesn't trouble
    me too much, but it would be nice to "try before I buy". Any additional
    info would be helpful.
    
    Thanks,

1551.2YGDRSL::LOWLIF::DAVISThat's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!Mon Aug 01 1988 00:133
One is at YGDRSL::AMIGA_USENET.  I assume the other is on that node also. (?)
