The archive for the previous month is now available for anonymous 
ftp from milton.u.washington.edu (128.95.136.1).

This archive joins the ever-expanding sci.virtual-worlds
archives... we now have all of the postings ever posted to the
newsgroup, and the postings are split up into files by month and by
year. 

With the postings of the past five months, we are already well
over the amount of postings seen during *all* of 1990.  

Also available now is a disk set of the archives, in Mac format-- send
mail to cyberoid@milton.u.washington.edu for more information.

Here is the README file from the archives.
> 
> To extract the files from any given archive...
> 	1.  Be sure and ftp in binary mode.
> 	2.  Do:  compress -d filename.tar.Z
> 	3.  Do:  tar -xvf filename.tar
> 	4.  The files will be extracted from the archive into an
> 	      appropriately-named directory. 
> 
> The files for August through November 1990 were a bit munged during
> transit to their current residing place, and thus may not be exact
> duplicates of the postings from that time period.
> 
> All archives now extract into their own directories-- so, you don't
> have to worry about munging your current directory up when you extract
> from the archive.
