+1 for just deleting all of it. I don't think we need to be telling users
of obsolete AIX versions how to run their systems. The comp.ai.genetic
FAQ link might be more of a loss, but on the other hand I'd be willing to
bet it wasn't very up to date anymore. Netnews has been moribund for a
long time :-(
