The files misc.* are the archives of the unmoderated
comp.protocols.kermit.misc newsgroup, broken up into chunks of
approximately 1MB each. Until some time in 1997 we said they were
"complete, unexpurgated" but now that the volume of spams,
get-rich-quick schemes, and pornography have begun to overwhelm
the Kermit-related messages, these are edited out. Disk space
costs money.
The filenames are misc.yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd, which give the date
of the first and last message in each file. Each archive is about
one megabyte.
The CURRENT file contains the current messages. The HISTORY
file contains messages pertaining to the history of the Kermit
newsgroups.
