Almost all posts from s.e.r. have been concatanated into one file, and compressed, called ser.compiled.*.Z (where the * represents the month of the last addition to the file, followed by a numerical range representing the total number of articles included in the file, and the Z indicates Unix compression). Furthermore, there is a "tarred and compressed" file of the entire archive, ser.tar.Z.
During the early days of ser, the archive was broken into a group of topical collections, which categories are available on the archive. During several months of 1994, the monthly posts were broken down and indexed. Since February 1994, all months have compilation files, Unix mail files containing all posts from the given month. These files can be found under "Monthly.compilations."
Most subdirectories are indexed. My convention is to use first-character upper-case for Directory names, with the exception of INDICES; index files are indicated by the word INDEX as a name-segment, all upper-case.
GENERAL ARCHIVE - the complete compilation of all posts to s.e.r. This is a very large, compressed file (approximately 3.5 Mb).
