Really need to record the steps I'm taking. Already rolled
some changes back so clearly this is a mistake-prone process.

So this will live in a "conversion" branch which I'll eventually
use to make a "master" branch (staging each commit with the proper
author attributes and the best commit message I can derive - later
dirs seem to have announcement files so that helps).

Don't seem to be text files.  Need to figure them out.  The .tlb
might be an archive.

These ones found with:

for f in $(file **/*(.)|grep Hitachi|sed 's/:.*//'); do
  ./convert-vms-record-fmt < $f > foo;
  mv foo $f;
done

These ones found with:

for f in $(file **/*(.)|grep AmigaOS|sed 's/:.*//'); do
  ./convert-vms-record-fmt < $f > foo; mv foo $f;
done

No idea what this was in.  All lines had ^A<8d> in front of them but
sed wouldn't touch them for some reason.  :%s/^A.// in vi removed
them - ^A entered with C-vC-a.

Done like so.  This isn't all of them; just the obvious ones.

for f in $(file decus/**/*(.) | sed s/:// \
           | awk '$2 == "data" {print $1}'); do
  ./convert-vms-record-fmt < $f > foo;
  mv foo $f;
done

Not all files have been added.  The files still in ZIP, ZOO and LZH
archives are being held back and will be unpacked and added in the
next commit.  In the process of unpacking some of these files will
be overwritten.

Also not added:

  * Executable and generated files: .exe, .obj and .olb.
  * Some of the bulletin directories had xdvi and xfig in them.
  * The ualr bbs was pulled in from the tapes.  Removed.

Add initial description of the repo.
