Has ANYONE, thought about setting up a NEW archive? If so, I would be

willing to

help with the database coding (Orcale or Acess...) If not, What would it

(besides a LARGE area to place it on the web)? I know some of the details
(Setting up the dbase, coding... and then transferring all the .eml's to

.txt or

html depending on the mood...)

        Okay.  The FFML archive is a mass of unmarked, unsorted files.  The
only *sorted*, searchable FFML archive seems to have died a painful death.
I don't know who wrote this, I don't know when it was, and I don't know
where else to turn.  If I get banned for this, I'm gonna go spare.

ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!!  I GOT THE MESSAGE!!!!

For those who are regulars on the FFIRC, you know what I'm talking about.
For the rest of you,  I didn't know that there WERE any searchable links to 
the arhcive so I was in the beginning phases of making my own.  I ran into
a few problems along the way, starting with an annoying HTML editor and a
cold.  I got the first one dealt with and am working on the second as we
speak.

I don't have much, but what I do have is at:

Andrew, I appreciate the offer of help, but I'll need some time to think on
how to make this a bearable two (or more) man project, instead of a
mountainous one man project.

Anyway.....

Tempus.
