Greetings all.
A few weeks ago, in a fit of nostalgia, I decided to gather together
a personal copy of the various Usenet source groups as still available
at places like gatekeeper.dec.com and ftp.uu.net. The result is
a collection of six newsgroups, net.sources, and then
comp.sources.{games,misc,x,unix,reviewed}.
I removed duplicates and fixed a few other archiving goofs as well.
The result is about 700M, uncompressed. It just fits on one CD. :-)
I have made a tarball available, it's about 145M, if anyone wants it.
URLs:
http://www.skeeve.com/Usenet.tar.bz2ftp://ftp.freefriends.org/arnold/upload/Usenet.tar.bz2
Only one compression format; the .gz file is almost 180M.
Enjoy,
Arnold
I once asked Brian Kernighan about style and diction. His
response was rather uncomplimentary; it's net meaning was
"don't bother with them".
As I recall, wwb was style, diction, maybe one or two other
related programs, and the ditroff suite: troff, tbl, eqn, pic,
and various macro packages. For the troff stuff, you're
better off with groff, anyway.

Hi,
Anyone know the status of the writers workbench (WWB)
which was a seperate package even in System III days
I think.
I know about style and diction which was shipped with BSD4.1
which (again wooly memory) was an early subset of the
whole wwb package.
I was hoping to compile it up and use it to help me
improve my written English!

Hi!
I would like to know which licence the files at
http://medialab.dyndns.org/~martin/tape/stuff/ditroff/
are under.
If it's http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf
that would be nice, if not, is there any way to find
out whose (c) is on the files, and how to contact them?
Reason: I'm developer of a BSD offspring and already
integrated 4.4BSD-Alpha nroff, neqn, tbl etc. under the
Caldera licence above into our operating system in order
to get rid of the less free, written in C++, GNU groff.
With success. Now I'm lacking postscript output.
Thanks in advance,
//mirabile

Ultrix-32 sources can be found on ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG in
/pub/UNIX/thirdparty/Ultrix-32/sources available via anonymous FTP.

By Ultrix-32 I didn't mean AT&T 32V, I just say Ultrix-32 to distinguish
it from Ultrix-11. Ultrix-32 was DEC's product for VAX and MIPS. On my
FTP site I have pirate sources for Ultrix-32 V2.00 and V4.20. The lalter
runs on all VAX models DEC ever supported Ultrix on and on MIPS.
