Remember comp.sources.hp48?

[Eric Rechlin]

It's really funny you're mentioning this now, because I've been going through all sorts of old postings for the last 2 months as I've tried to "complete" my web site (as you may have noticed, I've added around 600 programs, mostly from the 1990-1993 timeframe, that I had previously missed when creating my web site).

It's not just ship, but there are other now-obscure formats that some of them were originally published in. Some are in "shar" (SHell ARchive) format. Another tool used in comp.sources.hp48 was "brik", which seems to be pretty much dead now.

I've been using DOSBox and WSL to run some of these old tools.

I do have a large number of original postings from comp.sources.hp48, but I'm sure I'm missing some. I fear that some may be lost to time. DejaNews never got an archive of comp.sys.hp48 from spring 1993 to spring 1994, either, so all those posts are gone for good unless somebody here still has them. Anyone here have old backup disks from 25 years ago containing comp.sys.hp48 posts?
