Much of the Commodore stuff is already being
archived.  About the only journals that I have
needed but couldn't find were RUN and TRANSACTOR.

The copyrights for these may be actively enforcied by
their owners or nobody sees a need for their archives.

You may want to check out ARNOLD or QLINK to see what
already exists.  My HP is terminally ill, and the public
library internet system doesn't like arnold or qlink.
Somebody else will have to provide the site address details.
