[R-390] searching the archives

[wli]

Dick and all:

Searching the archives can be done. I have nearly all the posts (more or less) going back to 1998 in Word format. After I strip out the off-topic and irrelevant stuff, I split them up more or less by subject, convert them into .pdf files for *Pearls*, and Al Tirevold kindly posts them up for the group.

For those of you that are interested, I can send the unsorted collection 1998-2010 in more or less chronological order as a Word document on a single DVD. Then you can use the Word search function to locate your targets.....

Please reply OFF-LIST and include your mailing address and maybe a few bucks to cover postage.

Alternatively I am told that one can actually do a search on .pdf files. If that pans out for you, look under Restoration in Pearls, because that is where I put most of the AR-x files.

Thanks
