I have a set of NetNews CD-ROMS from Sterling Software mounted in some
Pioneer CD-ROM changers.  They would make a reasonable news archive,
hooked up to a WWW server.  A full text index would be even better.  I am
looking into putting together such a server.

One problem is that Sterling is seriously behind in sending out the CD-ROMs.
I have not received any dated since August.  Too long a lag makes it less useful
as an archive for finding recently expired articles.  I'm even getting worried that
Sterling may discontinue the product (or go out of business).
