* Note that "thread below" doesn't make sense in emails, you should
send an email as a reply to an existing one.
* Sounds like you're having some problems using gunzip etc:
- "gunzip -r directory" should unzip all of the *.gz files in the
directory (creating an uncompressed file instead of each
compressed one).
- "zcat -r directory" would unzip all of the *.gz files *and* show
them all. If you did the above gunzip first, this should not be
necessary.
* For a one-step process, as I have noted in the last message, for
every *.gz URL you can also drop the ".gz" and get the plain text
file.
* If your goal is to search the archives, you don't need any steps --
you can use one of these mirrors:
