I don't know of a web archive, but I have all the posts from January till now (3
8 Megabytes, but that includes all mail headers), and could put them somewhere (
perhaps an FTP site) if people are interested  This file is 'only' 9.4 MB zipped
.  This is an ASCII file (Eudora .mbx file).  Eudora also maintains a table of
contents (subjects) file, that is 2.7MB for the piclist.

Another group that I belong to has an archive web page, where all the daily dige
sts are kept, and you can look at each one with your web browser.  They plan to
have a search feature, but it isn't implemented yet.  It would be nice if someon
e in the piclist could do this for us.

A brute force search would put quite a load on a server.  I search my entire 38
Megs piclist mailbox with Eudora Pro, it takes 56 seconds to get thru it (200MHz
 Pentium Pro, 64MB RAM).  But if I have a question about a buggy 16C66 serial po
rt, such a search is valuable in finding the answers!
