Does anybody know of other Usenet archives? There are some archives
of comp.sources.* around. I've got much of the Minix and BSD newsgroups
archived since 1992.

I've also got 3 9-track tapes sitting here. One's labelled `News'; the
others have labels:

	1600bpi tar
	OLDNEWS ARCHIVE (mod)
	25 feb 87

	1600bpi tar
	OLDNEWS ARCHIVE (aus,comp,mod,net,news)
	25 feb 87

I might try reading them in the next few days.
