Here's the deal... if someone gets a copy of the archives to me somehow, I pledge that I will get them burned and will distribute them for cost price. I assume there will be two CDs as the data is apparently around 1GB. I have already checked, and for a run of 300 (should be enough to cover all the non-apathetic CP list members) the costs are: DM1,67 = 92 cents each = $1,84 + VAT = $2,15. Add postage onto this. A really great idea would be to include the coderpunks archive on any space that were left over. But first of all, I'll keep the focus as the greatest enemy of 'good' is 'great'. Note: IMPORTANT: The rep was emphatic - you shouldn't forget that this price includes *2 color* labelling! Makes the offer kind of irresistable doesn't it? Why am I doing this? Because just as Tim pointed out, this has been discussed more than once but there have been no results. At least none that I have heard of in the last year. One point - I am outside of the US. Good for europeans, but perhaps a little expensive for US-CPs. Maybe someone would like to take over the US distribution. (WHGIII?) I could get 50% to the states for distribution. Anyone wants to arrange this with me, contact me off-list. If no one does, then I'll start bugging people until something happens <g>... Ian At 14:28 04.09.98 -0500, you wrote:

Crypto CD Vol 1 has lots of stuff on it but I never found any archive of the CP list(s). Perhaps I didn't look enough.
I didn't find any either.
Also someone mentioned previously of pre-1995 online archives. Anyone have a pointer to these?
There is a local company here that does CD duplication and Harddrive archiving to CD. I can check and see how much they would want to burn a CD with the CP archives on it. I would imagine that list members would prefer RockRidge extensions? OS/2 supports both Joliet & Rockridge so it does not matter to me one way or the other. :)
