Actually I was able to find almost everything up to June 2003. So it is just the few updates since then that might be lost - I have to check my email in-box as I have a number of files there that are good (different archive fortunately). SO I am just trying to figure out what I am missing....I think the best thing to do is to make a small HTML page listing the contents of TTL and then it will be easy for people to see if everything is there and/or if they are looking for or have something to contribute.

The problem for me is to make a listing of the files in a somewhat automatic fashion. Has anyone seen a utility that converts directory listings to a simple text file for, say, W2K? The long file names ruin all my ancient DOS directory listers. I suspect a few minutes with Google will answer this question but perhaps someone here has a suggestion that works well for them...

We are all 'special' in our own way - me I like to screw up directories and blow files away, I'm sure others here have similar pleasures ;-).

No!  That sucks!  I am very sorry to hear that.  I only have a couple of the files (Data I/O stuff) but if they'll help I'll send them.

I know this won't help, but one time I was working on a project and...blah, blah, blah...I wiped out our whole data directory giving about *50* people nothing to do for a couple days while I desperately worked to recover the data.  Fortunately we did have backups.  Maybe I should have left out that last part.

I'm always grateful to hear when other people screw up.  It makes me realize that I'm not so "special" after all!  :-)

Did anyone build an archive of the FTP files I had posted? I hate to admit it but I lost all my work for the past year due to a bit of idiocy...don't ask...most of my PDFs are broken...sigh...

backup..backup...backup!
