No, sorry. egroups has much greater advantages for setup, file access and
subscribing than sourceforge.

You don't **have** to go through all the screens and adverts - that's for
newbies who haven't worked out how to work the system yet. :))

Here is the formula:

To go the list's main page:
http://www.egroups.com/group/ib-conversions

To go to the files area:
http://www.egroups.com/files/ib-conversions

To go to the archive:
http://www.egroups.com/messages/ib-conversions

These URLs conform consistently to this pattern, for any egroups list that
you are entitled to access.

If you let the program store a cookie, you won't even have to log in. It
will jump up and say "Hello John Smith" just like community.borland.com.

You can also customise your own subscription so that, e.g. you receive a
URL in an email when someone posts a file.
