ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Several people have mentioned FileSet 1.3 and posted source to me. I'm pretty busy until September but will be looking at the code then and will post a comment to the net on how the project goes. Don't expect to see much before late September on this, even if FileSet provides a lot of the source for the disk cataloging (which I already had some rough home-grown stuff for) I see the big challenge in this project being the user-interface and the rules for eliminating old files.

You should cancel your original article instead of posting a second. By the time people read your second article, they have already sent you info.

If you're using rn, type a "C" when you're viewing >the article you'd like to cancel. Canceling isn't an instantaneous process, and doesn't always work. Strangely enough, an example is in my reading of this group today. There is an article about SoundMover and there is another article by the same person, dated the next day (14th then 15t) which states that he canceled the Aug 14th article. Yet, although I see the Aug 15th post, I still see the Aug 14th post. (Dates provided to diferentiate). I don't know if that's our mail system, a fluke, or generally true. A local expert (ie someone who knows more than me) says that canceling is nice, but once an article leaves a site, you can consider it gone. Brian P.S. I use nn which lets me see all subject lines before reading any posts, so his post would have stopped me.
