I just had a look. Alan, maybe you can rename your files to
something like

-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users     3175484 May 11 13:19 kernel.1.oct93-jan94
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users     4285186 May 11 13:19 kernel.2.jan94-apr94
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users     4098851 May 11 13:19 kernel.3.apr94-jul94
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users     1981388 May 11 13:19 kernel.4.jul94-oct94
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users     2012272 May 11 13:19 kernel.5.oct94-dec94
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users      981069 May 11 13:19 kernel.6.dec94-feb95
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users      262913 May 11 13:19 kernel.7.feb95-apr95
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users      152424 May 11 13:19 kernel.8.apr95-jul95
-rw-r--r--   1 aeb      users        2963 May 11 13:19 kernel.9.jul95-theend

so that they get the proper order and the contents is clear.

Ted, your mail-archives are incomplete: in linux-activists/Volume6
you have digests 200-298 and 365-371, and there are no 299-364.

Digest 298 is about Fri, 8 Oct 93, while Alan's stuff starts
Wed, 13 Oct 1993. So, a few days are missing.

But then, your digests 365-371 should show overlap with Alan's stuff,
where you both have the period 10-12 Nov 93, and I find no such overlap.
So, Ted has old Linux-Activists@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU stuff,
and Alan has owner-linux-activists%fi.hut.cs.joker@fi.hut.FINHUTC stuff,
and at first sight these look disjoint.

PS - Alan, you didnt find by any chance some kernel sources?
I had a complete collection, but lost 0.99pl13* in a disk crash,
only linux13k.tgz survived by some coincidence.
