Tektronix manuals
For anyone that is interested there is some Tektronix schematics posted in
the alt.binaries.e-book.technical group at the moment. I know some people were asking for some and they may find it in there. I have downloaded some myself if necessary if anyone needs them too. |

Reassembling hundreds of segments of a fragmented document is not for the squeamish (and those of us with newsreaders that don't grok that sort of thing). BTW, what newsreader can accommodate more than 888,000 headers (the current retention on Supernews for that newsgroup)? Netscape 7.2 crashed after downloading about 350,000 headers. I expect that it will be necessary to get all of the headers to determine the completeness of some of the books. Michael |

Supernews must not be that super these days, Giganews shows a bit over 2,373,000 articles in there. Just about any real newsreader (not a web browser with a nntp hack in it) can handle that with ease. A few groups I use with Unison contain over 50 million and they work about as well as ones with 10K of posts in them. Anyway, don't get your undies in a bunch over it, I looked and most of the ones posted are ancient history, likely already on BAMA or other resources, many plug in modules but most appear to be from the 60's and 70's. The newest appears to be a datasheet and op manual for a 2213. Plus a lot of them are .djvu type, which I don't know what you use to look at. Really doubt you are missing anything. -bruce |

The poster says he will post about 17 GB total. I don't have the bandwidth to deal with that much material, but I may recruit some associates with fatter pipes. What newsreader will understand the fragmentation (the segments are not threaded but merely posted as separate messages) and reassemble them automatically? I manually downloaded all of the parts of a small manual and reassembled and decoded them offline; the scans were very well done. I don't relish the thought of doing that job on thousands of segments manually though. Michael |

I found an ideal solution for myself; 'nget' (for *nix, Win32, others) worked flawlessly for me in a test regex download of a manual name from that newsgroup. I highly recommend it. http://nget.sourceforge.net/ It is a no-nonsense command-line nntp fetch utility that groks multi-part binaries and decodes popular encoding like yEnc and also does PAR/PAR2 recovery.

Or skip the idea of a "newsreader" doing that job. They are for reading news with [On Linux] There are command line applications (e.g. uudeview) that can be pointed at the news spool directly and just told to unpack everything in sight. No reading, no saving needed. It will skip over stuff it can't understand, reassemble multi-parters from out of order fragments etc. There must be similar for Windows, even with an unnecessary GUI added on. -- --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Mike Brown: mjb[at]pootle.demon.co.uk | http://www.pootle.demon.co.uk/ |
