Agreeded.  I was going to slap an index on it that would be no worse than
the one that listbot used.  I certainly munge all those HTML files into
one big one (3+ meg).  That would allow someone to search it with the
"find on page" feature of their web browser (although the idea of
downloading 3 meg isn't particularly pleasing).  With more work I could
get a search engine on it, but it might be tough to make it portable
accross various systems.
