I went one further, and loaded the old AltaVista desktop search tool, extracted all the
usenet, added .txt extensions to make Windows happy, and converted them to something IIS
can deal with, then setup Apache to de-mangle the pages, and a stunnel connection from
Apache to the AltaVista desktop search as it only listens on 127.0.0.1:9988 .. So the
upshot is that you can search the usenet archive via AltaVista

I know there is a million ‘modern’ ways to do this, but I had though this was cooler.

I’ve always wondered what on earth a TAHOE was, as

just about as quickly as they came out. As we all know that they

I
typed in something wrong, and came across people
looking for GCC
for
the Tahoe running BSD.

I've exploded the Unix-related parts of the Usenet archive from UTZoo,
so you can look here for more Tahoe postings:
