Re: Farewell to UT's vectorlist

For what it's worth, I have the entire set of vectorlist archives (I
*think* - done with offline explorer, a web site sucker) off of
taupring.erols.com (72 megs or so) and all the files currently available
from this list via the get command (again, I *think*)... Hopefully
someone more responsible will gather the information up, but if it becomes
necessary I can put it all on a zip disk or DCROM and send it to someone
to put online. My web site won't handle any more traffic right now
unfortunately or I'd volunteer....

I have no idea as to how complete the taupring site was though...
