Archives for comp.std.unix or std-unix@uunet.uu.net may be found on UUNET.
Most of them are compressed, so if you don't have compress, get it first
(it's in the comp.sources.unix archives).
The comp.std.unix archives may be retrieved by anonymous FTP over the Internet.
Connect to uunet.uu.net with FTP and log in as user anonymous with password
guest.
The current volume is in the file
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/archive
or
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/volume.31
The previous volume may be retrieved as
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/volume.30.Z
For hosts with direct UUCP connections to UUNET, UUCP transfer from
host uunet should work with, for example,
uucp uunet!'~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/archive' archive
You will have to put a backslash before the ! (i.e., \!)
if you're using the C shell or bash.
The output of "cd ~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix; ls -l" is in
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/list
and the output of "cd ~ftp/comp.std.unix; ls -l *" is in
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/longlist
This file is
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/README
For volumes 15-21, lists of subjects may be found in
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/v??/subjects
Date:, From:, and Subject: lines are in the files
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/v??/contents
Volumes 1-10 are filed under the former newsgroup name, mod.std.unix,
as ~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/mod.std.unix.v1,
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/mod.std.unix.v2, etc., through
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/mod.std.unix.v10. Volume 3 contains the AT&T public
domain getopt(3). Volume 10 is a special index volume that catalogs Volumes
1-9.

The freely distributable implementation USENIX funded of pax,
the Portable Archive Interchange program that can read tar and cpio
archives, both in traditional format and as extended in IEEE 1003.1,
that can write either cpio or tar formats, and that has three user interfaces
(tar, cpio, and the pax interface specified by IEEE 1003.2), is in
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/pax/Announcement
~ftp/usenet/comp.std.unix/pax/[1-6]
It can also be found in the comp.sources.unix archives.
