You would not believe how much disk space all that takes. All the year/month directories correspond to what files the stuff is in on the main Lojban web page, I didn't try to split apart files that had multiple months. htDig will find it just fine either way, and this was enough of a pain to do. (You wouldn't believe how long mhonarc and htDig take, either.) I hope people find this useful. Note that the coverage is only from December 1989 to April 1998. After that the archives aren't in a useful form. (Not only is most of the header information non-existant, but the format is bizarre.) - Jay Kominek Waiting Is.
