We at Northeast Parallel Architecture Center (NPAC), Syracue
University has developed an archive system for searching/reading USENET
newsgroups,
mailing lists and personal mailbox from WWW. An Oracle database server is used
to store/manage mails and two search/navigation interfaces
accesible by any WWW browser
to the archive are provided: one is an advanced search interface
allowing queries with various options such as query by mail header,
by date, by subject (keywords), by sender. The other is a Hypermail-like
navigation interface for users familiar with Hypermail.

We offer free access to this archive for the 
Internet community. Check the URL

<URL:http://asknpac.npac.syr.edu>
or 
<URL:http://128.230.144.19>.

The whole archive is automatically updated in
every 30 minutes. Currently the following newsgroups (total 67) are archived
in the database, including this newsgroup/mailing-group:
