We are getting close to 4G of archives and I'm curious if I can spread them across several directories. I would leave all the indices in one place but use several directories for the notebooks. Seems like it should work. The list headers point to where the actual notebooks are stored and the /etc/lsv-wa.config points to the /archives directory for the indices. -- Cheerfulness is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others.
