Subject:    -6- Are the SGI newsgroups archived?
Date: 18 Jun 1995 00:00:01 EST

  The SGI newsgroups are archived in their entirety, albeit in a
  difficult-to-handle form, in ftp://ftp.sgi.com/comp.sys.sgi/.
  comp.sys.mips is likewise archived in
  ftp://ftp.sgi.com/comp.sys.mips/.

  Harry Mangalam <mangalam@uci.edu> makes the same newsgroups available,
  and easily searchable, via WAIS.  There is a separate WAIS source for
  each of the current SGI newsgroups and comp.sys.mips as well as the
  defunct newsgroup comp.sys.sgi. Access them with standard WAIS
  software (search the directory-of-servers for "sgi" or "mips" to get
  all the source descriptions) or via WWW at
  http://hornet.mmg.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/sgi.wais.html.

  Thanks to these services, just posting something goes a long way
  toward making it available to everyone, even after it expires.
  Another good reason to summarize the answers to your question for the
  group!
