I've still got the troff sources for the UniForum Canada (nee /usr/group/cdn) newsletters ("README") I produced when I was the editor. These span July 1990 through February 1993. They were distributed to members in print form. There were some issues before my time, but I don't think I managed to even keep the printed copies of those. I suppose I could/should just wrap them in a tar and put it on my web server.... I'll have to sort out including the wrapper tmac file I used -- the primary macros were MM, but I adapted them for the newsletter with some additions and replacements. I though I had lost it, but it seems I did manage to keep everything, even including the SCCS files. -- Greg A. Woods Kelowna, BC +1 250 762-7675 RoboHack Planix, Inc.

I especially relish the copy of the EUUG Spring 1984 newsletter with the account of the Nijmegen meeting, where I submitted the membership application on behalf of the Finnish UNIX USers Group to join EUUG, and I first learned about the Blit/5620, Honey DanBer UUCP, and /proc, , as well as meeting Eric Allman, Kirk McKusick, Andy Hume, Jim McKie, Jaap Akkerhuis, Brian Redman, David Tilbrook, Andrew Hume, Nigel Martin, Mike Banahan, Teus Hagen and many more.
