[TUHS] TUHS: Maintenance, Succession and Funding

[Arnold Robbins via TUHS]

I'm still working my way through this thread. I do want to point out
that it's trivial for any individual to mirror TUHS; you just need
rsync and about 13 Gig of space.  I've been running a script to do
so, weekly, for decades.

----------- cut here -----------------------
for i in Applications Distributions Documentation Tools Unix_Usenet
do
	if [ ! -d $i ]
	then
		mkdir $i
	fi
done

rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Root   .
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Applications     Applications
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Distributions    Distributions
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Documentation    Documentation
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::UA_Tools            Tools
rsync -avz minnie.tuhs.org::Unix_Usenet         Unix_Usenet
