Newsgroups: sci.aeronautics.airliners Path: news From: Karl Swartz Subject: archive of articles (and other stuff) now available X-Submission-Date: Wed, 16 Dec 92 4:40:07 PST Message-ID: Approved: kls@ohare.Chicago.COM Sender: kls@ohare.Chicago.COM X-Submission-Message-Id: Date: 16 Dec 92 04:47:56 PST A first pass at an Airliners ftp archive is now available on ftp.eff.org, thanks to Helen Rose . Access is via the usual anonymous ftp; the following files are in the /pub/airliners directory: archive-1992.Z (187393 bytes) A compressed mail folder of the first 160 articles posted to sci.aeronautics.airliners. (The last was dated December 14, 1992.) Next month, hopefully, the archive will be updated as soon as articles are posted, but for now this is being done by hand when the mood strikes. :-) boeing-code (6726 bytes) A list of Boeing customer codes -- the xx part of a designation such as 747-2xxB. specifications (1776 bytes) Some e-scribblings of mine showing various useful parameters of some airliners, from which I computed the power/weight ratios discussed a few weeks ago. Hopefully this will evolve (or be replaced) into a complete reference. Again, this is a first pass, mainly to get something out for some folks who wanted it before the holidays. In the next month or two real-time archives of the newsgroup will be implemented, as will several other sites. More reference data will be made available as well. -- Karl Swartz |INet kls@ditka.chicago.com 1-415/854-3409 |UUCP uunet!decwrl!ditka!kls |Snail 2144 Sand Hill Rd., Menlo Park CA 94025, USA Send sci.aeronautics.airliners submissions to airliners@chicago.com
