I think this would help to keep some of the redundant questions down....it would also give you/us another chance to put in the plea to please use a meaningful topic when you post and so on and so forth. I pulled down the docproj port and all that....Are you thinking that I would modify the webpage that people use to access the conspectus? If so I will need to throw some more drives in my FreeBSD box....I don't think I have the 600 megs free that it takes to build the webpages. I was hoping that I could just do the conspectus (that will be a project enough the way I see it) and someone else could merge it into the website. Let me know, I have plenty of drives sitting around, it is just a pain to take my FBSD box down as it is my gateway to the internet. > > This looks like it could be fairly time consuming and I don't want to > > waste a lot of effort going in the wrong direction. > > At least you know what you're in for :-) I like the pain...I am thinking that I am going to try to get a conspectus done for next week.
