I'll grant you that there is a substantial learning curve with Harvest but it's hardly a mess, and it works great once you have it setup properly. Our gatherers have about 500MB of index using Glimpse, so we're ,conservatively, indexing 5GB, probably closer to 10GB. 1-2 second response times on 64M P90. I suggest spending another day or two sorting Harvest out. Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
