I've held off replying to this in the hope that someone else would
but since I haven't yet seen a reply to it I guess I'll have to volunteer
after all. I would be happy to do the latter part, doing the archiving.
I don't have enough hard drive to do the first, I can't even install Tex.

Paul, you once offered to help me out in this regard, how would feel about
helping me out by doing the collection/format testing etc. ?

I'd hate to see the HOWTO project fall apart.
