| My 25th Anniversary Gift to You |
|---|
You go into our archives http://telecom-digest.org and then into the
back-issues files. Within the back-issues files, look for the
category "25 years of c.d.t. messages in MBOX format." There you will
see 25 files, labeled 1981 through 2006; each year is a zip file which
when uncompressed using DOS will produce a new directory on your
own computer entitled 'mail'. If the process goes as it should, each
file uncompression you do should produce such a 'mail' folder with
several thousand each mail files, sort of Usenet style reading. Unless
you have _lots_ of storage space on your computer, I do not recommend
trying to uncompress all the files at one time. But of course you can
also send your output to a writeable DVD/CD if that is your
preference.
Many of the messages also have hyperlinks in them, so I assume if you
are connected to the net when you do this, you should get the benefit
of the various links as well. The final year (2006) of this collection
cuts off at the end of June. I hope you enjoy this 'one-stop shopping'
collection of c.d.t. messages over the past quarter-century.
