Ok,, Eric, Nathan, Ben, whoever, can I rely on someone from LSOFT to support me when I ask Jim Gerland to reassemble the archives where they should be in the Notebook= path because it it makes little difference in the speed of the searching, web or otherwise? ALL I want is to get the '91 - '96 archives searchable. If speed is not a concern I want the archives reassembled in the proper place, and I don't care that there's a silly "web presence." If speed, due to the size of the archives, is a concern, ok, I'll try to get Jim to set up a separate archive list for us; after all, that IS what my original posting was all about, asking critique of the details of that scheme. I KNOW that scheme will work, with perhaps some tweaking which is what I was asking for. If it makes no difference in search time I would much rather put all the archives back where they belong. Which is it? The size of the archives makes no appreciable difference for a properly constructed searched or it does. If it makes no difference will you tell Jim so If I ask you to? If it does make a difference would you look again at my original post and suggest improvements? Douglas
