Indeed, and I may. The text-only file is 120K, which is large for Usenet.
I did forward the material to a friend of mine who has spent 9 years
in Japan dealing with technology exports. He's never sure if the
people he is dealing with who say they are with Toshiba, for example,
don't also have other masters. This list may help him to figure out
who some of the spies are/were.
As for the material getting to the Aum cult, the source was a group
within Japan. Odds are this material has already been widely
circulated, Samizdat-style.
