No. As I said, it would be done locally, with "GREP" or AWK", after
downloading
the archives. This has nothing to do with CGI scripts or remote servers. Also,
used properly, GREP and its ilk /are/ like Web search engines, only much more
powerful and flexible. As for a rating scheme, if I understand what you
mean by
it, that /would/ require direct perusal. But as I stated in a previous post,
that wasn't my goal. Am I being obtuse?
