importing archives

Hi,

I've been using mj2 for at least 8 years now, and I've briefly explored
but never dealt with the question of importing old archives from mj1.94
lists.

Looking through documentation, I see the "put" command, which takes a
"here" document.  Is there a more efficent way to upload/import hundreds
of monthly mbox archive files?  For example, can they be manually copied
into the filesystem under that list's archives directory, then run a
command to get it to massage and index them?

In the filesystem, there is a "files" directory for each list, and in
that, "public" directory containing a "archive" directory containing all
the mbox format files and ".archive" file which presumably contains the
description of "archive".  In "archive" are monthly mbox files as
expected and a ".index" directory containing "C<file>" and "I<file>.T"
files that appear to contain descriptions of number of lines, number of
messages, then header indexes.

Thanks!
