This is a no go... That's true, but I didn't know anyone worked off-line anymore. I've toyed with making a search program using the indexes for the search engine (it's all Ada code after all), but since I only know how to do that in Windows, I didn't think it was worth the effort. (There was such a program that was used for testing the search engine in the early going, but it is clunky to use the results, as you get a bunch of URLs which you have to manually paste into your browser. I know how to fix that on Windows, I'm not aware of any similar capabilities on Linux.) > > Why not use the plain text version?

I don't think it would be that hard, as Stephen has already done much of the heavy lifting. Randy.
