Thanks Renee, Thanks for the suggestion. Acutally, when I began compiling, I simply started by making 'favorites' links, available offline, of all the posts. I hadn't yet decided what I was going to do. And Word was such a limited scope. I hadn't put ANYTHING into Word yet when I decided to go about things differently. I made myself a nice little Access database to record the info, and once completed, I will just use the database as a source. I have received numerous offers for help with duplication. (Thanks to Rick, Harry, and Laura.) Between them, I think the material costs of this project will be reduced to almost zero. More money for the fundraisers!! FYI, the CD-Rom will be done in html format. It will be used just like a website online, but will not require the user to be connected to the internet. Instructions for use will be included, of course. I believe this has a much more broad spectrum of usablility. Anyone who has an internet browser will be able to use it. It won't matter which browser. I'm not sure if I create a copy of a disk using a PC, if it will be formatted for Mac users. (I know floppy disks aren't, but I have never looked into the compatability of CD-Roms, because I just don't like Macs, and never use them, nor do I really know anyone who does.) So, anyone who might have suggestions regarding that, please contact me. And of course, for anyone who can't use the CD, there is always the printed version. Last night I sat down and really started compiling heavily, into my Access database, and have finished 1993. That includes all posts made by Dr. Williams, and any original posts by other FMLers who prompted the responses from Dr. Williams. 1993 has 84 different posts in all. I know that seems like much less than 1/3, but half the work was just finding all the months he posted. Take into account that he was gone for long stretches of time later on in the life of the FML, and I am doing quite well. It took me about 3 hours to do 1993, and I anticipate another 12-15 hours to get all the info into one place and organized. Once that is through, several hours apeice for the two different distribution formats to be ready for duplication, and we will be on our way!!
