Subject: [TUHS] Old UNIX newsletters?
Anyone sitting on piles of old UNIX newsletters? I find they make for
fascinating reading.
I haven't found any online archives.
Hmmm.... I've still got the troff sources for the UniForum Canada (nee
/usr/group/cdn) newsletters ("README") I produced when I was the editor.
These span July 1990 through February 1993. They were distributed to
members in print form. There were some issues before my time, but I
don't think I managed to even keep the printed copies of those.
I suppose I could/should just wrap them in a tar and put it on my web
server.... I'll have to sort out including the wrapper tmac file I used
-- the primary macros were MM, but I adapted them for the newsletter with
some additions and replacements. I though I had lost it, but it seems I
did manage to keep everything, even including the SCCS files.
