diy archive II

[Martin Czech]

Ok, no reply, the synth-diy list archive seems to have gone.

That's a pitty.

Because it takes time and bandwith to answer the same questions over
and over again.

(Yes, there are some mails there on the homepage, but if you have a
closer look at them, you'll see, that these are only old ones, the
newer mails are not there).

Instead of complaining, I have decided to do something about it.  But I
need your help. I was just informed that my homepage has got another 5
MByte of free storage...  I would volunteer to reconstruct the data
with some help from you.  Ie. if I receive data I would simply cat it
into one large file, zip it and put it to my homepage as a first step.
Maybe I'll find a way to eliminate all the useless headers and also
"double" messages.

There are two ways:

1.)
Try to reconstruct all.
Indeed I know somebody who saved all since Sept 29 1996.
The problem is, that the data is a bit "mixed up", it could be
a lot of work to reconstruct it in a proper fashion. 
I have all data for 1995. So we'll just have to fill the gap.

Who's interested and who has all (or nearly all) stuff on disk?

2.)
If it is not possible to reconstruct all, is there a way to reconstruct
the essential part of it?  Well, I think that all seriously interested
members of the list archive the interesting mails with their mail tool,
because it's so easy.  I did, I threw away all that I classified as
garbage and I kept the (for me) essential part.

If we take the "essential" from -say- 10 different members, that should be enough.



Ok, let's first see who is interested to help me.
Please, reply only to my adress, not to the list!
First, tell me what you have got, don't just send big attachment files.
