forums bad.  I never liked them - that's what mailing lists are for.

Yes it is, but if there is a separate mail list archive feature which we can
subscribe to the list, that would be cool.  I don't think we'll be able to do
the mailing list archives the same way (midrange.com is pushing them to
the cvs server via FTP, thanks to David Gibbs).

I just checked on the CVS server... I don't have the archives in mbox format,
just in the exploded HTML format.  If we end up using a new archive method,
I hope David has the stuff in mbox/mailbox/spoolfile format.

;-)  I typically use Eraserhd in that case, since I had to shorten it for the
Cleveland Linux Users' Group's IRC server (which seems kind of silly now that
I think about it).

It works, I am eraserhd at sourceforge.

Sure.  ftp://cvs.cleveland.lug.net/pub/tn5250/tn5250-repo.tar.gz
