I already "digest" the MacApp[23]Tech$ postings for my own archives,
and would be glad to post a copy here or to the csm.digest group or to
some FTP archive somewhere if there is interest. The problem with
running it as a newsgroup is the rather large binaries that are
sometimes posted to that mailing list; e.g., the uuencoded
"viewedit" that was posted not too long ago was in the region of 500K.
Oh, I have about 1.4M (uncompressed) of "back issues" if some FTP archive
is willing to offer a home for them.

[Or if you want to do it, I'm more than happy to mail you my MPW "digest"
scripts.]
