Tuning back digests

As well as the sad loss of academic support, with the demise of the
Mills list we seem to have lost access to the tuning list back digests. I
think this is a real loss as there has been some great dialog over the
years. The ftp site starts from 238 and I have all digests except:

1-237
550-599
800-899
1065
1088
1089
1090
1091
1092
1093
1094
1095
1096
1097
1098
1099
1517

Does anyone have sources to these? I think we have some great stuff
here, accessible with the help of search utilities. I can hang the whole
collection off my web page for now and I dare say it could be a
semi-permanent fixture at my Uni.

I don't suppose there is a way of renumbering the onelist digest to
continue the numbering scheme which has been in place since 93?

Oh yes please, can we figure out where
the tuning list digests are archived ?

If they aren't, lets help Leigh get 'em together
and stick 'em (as text files ) in a web site.

We could also have them available as reasonably sized
zipped archives (of @ 100kb ea.), so we could download them
all and have one heck of an "FAQ" on our hard drives.
Compression reduces text files to @1/3rd their size.

I have all digests from no.1343 (4th March '98)

The list processor at Mills still automatically handles requests for
archived digests (when it's awake). So, for example, to get the text of
Digest 1517, send this request to "listproc@eartha.mills.edu":

get tuning digest.1517

And to get a list of all the archives, send this request:

index tuning

(Note: Be sure to send the requests to "listproc@eartha.mills.edu", NOT to
"tuning@eartha.mills.edu" or "tuning@onelist.com".)

I'm sure the whole tuning community would greatly appreciate it. You and/or
anyone else who wishes to maintain an archive can issue the aforementioned
"get tuning" requests (before "listproc@eartha.mills.edu" dies) to get the
whole collection.

Unfortunately I have not found a way to control the new numbering.

Anyway, I hope the "get tuning" method of transferring the archives will not
too cumbersome. So, to you volunteers, I say "Go for it!!!" I'll update
ONElist's info to point to your results accordingly.

Thanks in advance,

Apparently, the old archives!
