That's how I'm doing it now.  Just wish I'd started in 94..

| - The SyTy / Turbo Sunbird code appears to be derived from the
|   Fiero 6869/7170 speed-density code.  I haven't looked at the
|   SyTy code all that much, but every part I have looked at is
|   almost a line-by-line copy of the Fiero code.
| - In the backwards direction, the 6869 code is related to other
|   speed-density programs.  The 6864 4-cyl TBI has a lot in common
|   with the 6869.  Optimizations present in one but not the other
|   imply that the branch point is further back.  Perhaps the common
|   ancestor is all the way back at the (circa 1982) 5610 & 6026 ECMs.

|  I don't have any use for subject lines, routing paths, X comments, etc.
| -> the messages.  An entire month archive put into the mail directory
| -> for Netscape (and I assume any decent mail reader) will work just as
|  I dump everything to a text file and use my editor to trim extraneous
| text, and I sometimes add comments to the ends of messages.  Everything
| is visible at once just by scrolling through the file; you can't do that
| with Netscape.
|  Then again, I do my mail a bit differently from other people...
