This page is a staging area for the files needed to pull down the first part of the messageboard archives.
Because this was a "catch-up" project the first 37 megs of data are stored in a zip file. That zip file is broken up here into several pieces to be down-loaded at your convenience. Each is about 1000KB
You will need a program to put the zip file back together, so you must down load and install the free utility File Splitter.
Every week a new archive zip will be placed here for download, because the archive will have a different name, you will have to copy the changed files to the directory you have copied your archives to.
There will be a better way to do this down the road, but this is are first step to true archives.
