The archives are in gzip format, which is a GNU compression program. Stuffit Expander is supposed to be able to handle gzip format, and they make a version for Mac and Windows, so you should be fine which ever platform they are on.
I've decompressed them all and placed them on a directory on our Renegade Rhythms.com website, but can't publish them until I get the OK from George Smiley, as Hyperreal's Copyright policy is that I need to get permission from all of the posters or if I get permission from the operator of 313, which is George. Just sent an email off to him to see if it's alright to publish the location. It's just html for each month, until I add search engine, which shouldn't take too long. Only problem that I see coming up, is that the archives contain the email addresses of all the posters, so it's possible that my having them in html or txt format, that misbehaved robots can grab the address's and use them in spams'. If somebody has a good way to grep out the email address' from the original emails, then that would probably be better. I'll reply back to this thread, if I ever hear back from George.
